EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION AT KINGSLAND.—LaBt
night, between the hours of nine and ten, a fire of an
extensive character, and attended with a considerable
loss of property, broke out in the premises belonging tc
kr. Tapper, a cabinet-maker, carrying on business at No.
42, Laburnham-terrace, Baggerstone-lane, Itingsland-
road. The premises were of some extent, being three
storeys high, and stretched- backwards a great dis-
tance.-- The several floors were filled with veneers,
Was
Mahogany, and other valuable woods. The discovery
made by a police-officer of the N division who
on passing the premises, perceived smoke issuing
from the lower part of the building. Feeling con-
vinced that a fire was raging within the premises
lie gave an alarm, and sent off for proper assistance.
Intie the course of a few minutes Meadows arrived with
Parish engine, and wa closely followed by the
Brigade- eegines from Jeffrey-square, Whitecross-street,
Wellclose-square, and Watling-street stations. The
firemen then found the entire structure, together with
ita valeable
.contents, in a regular sheet of flame, and
the reflection thrown up was so great that it not only
illuminated the entire neighbourhood, but it could
be seen over the whole of London. A plentiful sup-
Ply of water- was at !lice procured, from which the
enSines were set to work, but. in spite of the tor-
rent
0- water thrown upon the conflagration it ctrtn:
t
tueed to extend, and it was with difficulty the fi
e
/nen succeeded in staying its progress towards the
ltdi°lni"g houses. The total loss will amount to several
hundreds, if not upwards' of a thousand pounds. As to
the origin of the disaster, nothing could be obtained that
could be relied' upon. The proprietor of the place was
at the, time of the outbreak, but it was ascertained
• the loss will fall upon the Atlas Fire-office. A vast
crowd was collected by the light thrown up, but owing
to the exertions of the police
no one was injured. Two
ZhttierLfires occurred last night—nue at Stamford-hill. by
a quantity of hay was destroyed ; the other in
Z 7-1 tsigeware-road, but in the latter case the damage
scte, was fortunately only trifling.
