THE FALL OF HOUSES IN TOTTENHAM-COURT-ROAD:
—Yesterday the jury summoned to inquire into the
deaths of the sufferers by the fall of houses in Totten-
ham-court-road assembled for the sixth time before Mr.
Brent, deputy coroner. George Bowden, a carpenter,
said he saw the men cutting the holes in Mr. Hunter's
wall, and gave his opinion that the cutting of these holes
was the cause of the accident. A similar opinion was
given by Charles Royer, another carpenter. Charles
Hiatt, a carpenter, who was at work with the last wit-
ness, said he considered that the cause of the accident
was the cutting away the holes in Mr. Hunter's wall
without shoring up the corbel. Mr. Reeves, surveyor
to the metropolitan police, said he bad examined the
walls since they bad fallen down, and was of opinion
that the operations which had been carried on would be
likely to cause the accident. Other witnesses were ex-
amined, hut nothing material was elicited, and the in-
quiry was adjourned till Thursday. Mr. Maple, not-
Withstanding his own severe pecuniary loss by the
occurrence, has originated a subscription, headed by
himself, to raise a fund for the benefit of the widows and
orphans of the sufferers, some of whom have been rep•
dered nearly destitute by the sad event.
