Milner Gibson, M.P., said that he was in bed, and was
alarmed by a cry of fire. He got up, and ran down into
the mews, and looking up saw Mrs. Barrett at the window
of her bed-room. She called out, and was ringing a little
boll. He ran out to the street to get the escape, but finding
they were both engaged at the front of the house, he got a
ladder, and brought down Mrs. Barrett, the nurse, and in-
fant. He took them to the livery stables. He went over
to the public-house, and saw Mr. Barrett brought in dead.
Richard Kent, 191 C, said that he was on duty in Park-
street, and saw smoke rising, and he went to the fire. He
assisted in breaking open the door. When the bodies were
brought out, he took that of the young lady in his arms
and carried it to No. 5. She was not then quite dead, as he
heard her breathe. He laid her on the table, and she was
still alive. The ladies of the house gave her every atten-
tion. She died in eight or ten minutes, just before the
doctor arrived.

By the Coroner— She walked a little way, after being
carried down the steps, between himself and another
constable.

At the conclusion of the evidence,

from fire and suffocation, but how the fire originated there
was no evidence to show."
