SERIOUS CONFLAGRATIONS at BLACK-
HEATH and HOLBORN.
This morning at an early hour, a fire of a very de-
structive character, and attended with a great loss of
Property, happened in one of the spacious private
h, rethesi-
dences numbered 3, Montpelier-row,
Blackheat
Property of a lady named Webb, but sublet to several
lodgers. The fire was first perceived by a policeman
of the R division, who lost no time in arousing the
several occupants, who fortunately succeeded in effecting
a retreat from the premises, but not before they were
nearly suffocated with smoke. The engines of the
parish quickly attended, as well as another belonging to
her Msjesty's dockyard at Deptford. These powerful
machines were instantly set to work, but in spite of the
exertions of the police, &c., the work of destructionafter con-
tinued, and in less than a quarter of an hour the
commencement of the conflagration, the entire building
presented one immense sheet of flame, the reflection of
which could be seen from every part of London.
This caused the engines of the brigade at the Southwark-
bridge-road Station, as well as that of the West of Eng-
land Company, to be taken out in search of the scene of
danger. After travelling some distance a mounted
express was met, who gave the firemen information of
the exact spot the flames were raging. The engines
were then driven with greater speed onwards, and on
reaching Blackheath-hill an occurrence took place which
Was nearly attended with fatal consequences to Mr.
Deputy Barrow, of the West of England office. The
men, it appears, were in the act of getting off the en-
gine, to ease the horses up the hill, when Barrow was
thrown down by his foot catching the wheel, and before
he could be extricated, the fore-wheel passed over his
left foot and the hind-wheel over his thigh. The horses
were immediately stopped, and the ladders taken off the
engine, in order to carry him to the police-station,
but fortunately he was -found to be only seriously
bruised, no bones being fractured. Upon
reaching the fire the firemen set to work
in an indefatigable manner, but they were unable to sub-
due the fitimes until the premises in which the disaster
commenced were gutted, and serious damage done by
firewater, anti removal to Nos. 2 and 4 in the same row,
belonging to Mr. Gilbert. Mrs. Webb was insured it
the Sun Fire-office, but Mr. Gilbert was uninsured.
The cause of the fire was unknown.—At a late hour last
night a fire of a serious character happened in the pre-
mises of Mr. Weeler, a japanner, No. 8 pp,
Newton-street,
Holborn. It originated in the manufactory, and spee
weredily
extended to three of the drying stoves,
which
burned out, the roofs destroyed, and several hundred
pounds' worth of stock in trade consumed. The engines
of the parish brigade and West of England attended, and
the firemen eventually got the flames extinguished. The
loss will fall on the Sun Fire•office.
