EXPLOSION OF A PIIIVATEMISTILLEIty.—FII.•
day evening, a little after' eight e'clock, the in-
habitants of Boyers-buildings, St. George in the
East, were thrown into the greatest alarm, in
consequence of an explosimi, resembling the firing
of great guns, which took place at the houseOf
German' named Clarke, -residing in the 'above
place. The: inhabitant flocked to the house of
Clarke, and'on entering a back cellar, Where they
were led by the smoke and
.steam issuing from it,
they discovered the unfortunate man himself lying
on the floor shockingly scalded. The cellar repre-
sented a distillery on aminorsca-le : some vessels,
containing a quantity of wash; low wines, mo•
lasses, &C.. and seine spirits; Were at one end of it;
and at the other Were ti copper still, a htliti? as t
a worm of good' size; and other ap'paratus for
licit distillation. The 'still lay in a disordered
manner, being stapled from its proper birth at the
time the explosion was heard. It appeared to
have been recently working, as it-was then quite
hot. Clark was conveyed to the London HOS'
pital, -Where he now lies in a doulitrul stete.--'
