THE CALAMITOUS FIRE IN
GUILDFORD-STREET.

DEATH OF MR. MAYOW, THE SOLICITOR OF

EXCISE.

The Holborn division of the Fire Brigade have
been actively engaged in removing the ruins of Mr.
Farey's late premises, No. 67, Guildford-street, during
the past week.
In turning over the immense pile of burning
rafters, &c., a number of valuable models, con-
nt eted with machinery, have been recovered, besides
a quantity of scientific works, which, although
much damaged, are not so extensively injured as to
be rendered valueless to the professors of science.
Perhaps not the least prized relic that has been
saved is a sliding side rule for measuring cylindrical
steam-boilers, &c., presented by the renowned Mr.
Watt, of Bolton, Lancashire, many years since, to
Mr. Furey, senior. The workmen continued their
labours up to five o'clock (Saturday), and at that
time they had completed their examination of all the
ruins, with the exception of those in the back parlour
and back kitchen, without finding the trace of any
human bones.
It will be recollected that Mrs. Auste's family,
residing at No. 68, Guildford-street, on the eastern
side of Mr. Farey's, took refuge in the house of
Mr. Mayow, No. 54, opposite, on the night of the
fire, and where they have since continued to re-
ceive the greatest kindness and hospitality.
Mr. Mayow, who has been so many years
known to the public as the chief solicitor of
Excise, was far advanced in years, and was on Satur-
day morning found dead in his bed. Mr. Mayow
was much alarmed on the night of the fire, and had
since been attended professionally by Dr. Latham.
His loss will be severely felt in the public department
of her Majesty's Excise, to which the deceased has
been for so lengthened a period such an useful officer.
Mr. Braidwood, the superintendent of the Fire Brigade,
made a close examination of the ruins on Saturday
morning, and expressed his decided opinion to be,
that the fire was occasioned by a hot air flue becoming
over-heated, and setting fire to the beam in the back
parlour. The deaths of the unfortunate persons he
attributes to the falling in of the upper stories,
through the insufficiency of the building, the timber
and joists, &c., having been, as he says, too light for
so capacious a residence.

On Christmas-day morning two young men of
Banbury were walking on the banks of the Cherwell,
and just at the point where the mill stream and the back
brook join, below Grimsbury mill, and where there is a
very deep hole, they saw a boy's cap floating on the
water where the ice was broken. They gave an imme-
diate alarm, and after a search the bodies of two lads
were found quite dead. On inquiry, they proved to be
those of Jacob and George Eaglestone, of Wardlington,
sons of a tailor of that place, and about 13 and 15
years of age. They had been, in company with ano-
ther boy named Green, also of Wardlington, to see a
brother who is living with Mr. Naseby, of Banbury,
and were returning, having with them a bundle
containing linen and a bottle of brandy. A little boy
saw them get upon the ice from the foot bridge, near to
Grimsbury mill, and go sliding down the river ; he was
about to get on with them, but they drove him back.
The bodies were carried to the boat public-house at
Grimsbury Wharf. When it was ascertained that there
had been three boys seen together, drags were procured
and were in use until dark last night, but without finding
the body of the other missing boy. The bundle was
found in a, thicket near the foot-bridge. A boat has
been got upon the spot, and this morning, about half-
past nine, the body of the third boy was found. At the
first alarm, Mr. Robert Field rode off to Banbury, for
surgical assistance, but that was unfortunately useless.—
Banbury Guardian.
EYE, DEC. 26.—A young man of irreproachable
character, and occupying a small allotment of land, find-
ing it much infested with rats and annoyed by persons
stealing the cabbage and other vegetables, has been set-
ting traps to get rid of some of the former depredators,
and on visiting his allotment one morning found a hare
caught in one of the traps, on removing which he was
seized by two persons who had concealed themselves, and
was taken to Brome Hall, before E. C. Kerrison, Esq.,
who having heard the charge, dismi ,sed the case. It is a
singular circumstance that the persons who are nightly
watching rat traps on the allotments, do not occasionally
Idiscover those who steal the cabbages and other vegeta-
bles. Rumour says, a watchman is paid one pound for
every conviction under the game-laws.—Suffolk Chronicle.
