between twelve:and
one o'clock, a fire occurred in the bed-roum of Mrs. Beavely,
residing at No. 15, Carnaby-t reet, Golden-square, occasioned
s
by her two sons, Charles, aged 10, and George, aged 8 years,
playing with some lighted wood
during her temporary absence,
by which the bed and furniture in the room were burnt, and
also themselves in so dreadful manner that they were removed
in blankets to the Middlesex Hospital, where they both lie
without any hopes of recovery. It was with difficulty the house
was saved.
