of the stock, consisting principally of straw, that 150
than ten minutes the flames had gained the _ CO tll/
possession of the building, and had also extended c'
adjoining tavern. The inmates of the contigne_ll,:cliel
mises having been aroused, messengers were ar
for the engines. With all speed six or seven of the fir,
don Establishment engines were at the scene of Co o 0

those of the parish, and West of England CompanYtioei
the time, however, that they reached the spot the
ink
had broken through the roof, and were mounting ,ell

apprehensions for the safety of the numerous contlpilf
premises. The firemen being assisted with a good :lirecr
of water, three engines were set to work, and by
ing the branches of the same against the Two Br°, I,oll'
the fire was happily arrested in its progress, and by

done' is -very considerable ; the whole of the Brag tY
I•elonf,,,ing to Mr. Biggs is consumed, and the root ° sre
tavern and back rooms, together with the contenti'vri!li
also much burned. The origin of the fire is 00tredin
certainty known. Fortunately the occupier is in of
