SERIOUS BOILEP. EXPLOSION IX THE CITY. —A
,
serious explosion took place yesterday on the premises of
Mr. D. A. Jones, packing-case maker, of 14, Bath-street
Newgate-street. Three persons were seriously scalded and
burned, one of them lying at present in St. Bartholomew's
Hospital. It seems that the men went to work as usual in the
morning, a circular sawing machine o, four-horse power,
which is used on the premises for sawing the wood, being
set in motion according to the usual practice. At about half-
past nine o'clock, however, they were startled by a loud re-
port, and in a moment the whole of the shutters inclosing
the warehouse on the ground floor were thrown with great
violence, as well as a portion of the brickwork, some twenty
or thirty feet from the premises. Very soon he premises
were in a blaze. In consequence, however, of the timely
arrival of the engines from the Farringdon-street Station,
the the was soon extinguished. A son of Mr. Jones, a lad
between eleven and twelve years of age, and two of the
workmen, who had been injured by the explosion, were
taken out of the premises. Their names are Walter Jones,
Alfred ReynAds, aged 26 years, and Robert Honeymore,
aged 24 years. The last-named sufferer being severely
scalded and burned, he was taken to St. Bartholomew's
Hospital. The other two sufferers received prompt medical
attendance. The whole of the windowssof the first and
second floors of the building were blown out, as were also
the skylight and roof of the house. The roof and portions
of the premises of ?Sr, Buckland, packer, opposite, have
elso boa blown out,
