that between ten and eleven o'clock, the whole of the
windows, shop front, doors, and stock in trade belonging to
Mr. Farebrother. general dealer, were hurled into the
street. The house from the bottom to the top was exten-
sively insured. Some of the most courageous of the neigh-
bours ventured into the ruins, when they found Mr. Fare-
brother lying on his back, is the parlour, covered with rub..
bish, and almost speechless. A little further off, they found
his wife, with an infant in her arms, lying amidst a mass of
broken chairs and tables. They were all got out, when it
was ascertained that the three were severely bruised. Two
children. sleeping in the upper floor, were forced out of bed.
and were alto injured, but not to any serious extent. The
party wall between No. 1 and No. 10 in the buildings was
rent in twain, so that it became apparent the damage done
was not confined to one house. As soon as the last numbered
building was entered, Mr. Johnson, the occupier, was found
lying in the passage, he having been hurled from the top
landing by the shock down stairs. From a careful inspec-
tion since made, it has been ascertained that one ef- the gas
niains had become leaky, and the vapour having escaped had
caused the disaster.
