belonging to Thomas Collyer, Esq., and stand tug in a field of
his on the road side, nearly opposite Milton old Church, was
discovered to be on fire. It was first observel by the driver
of the London and Dover mail, who, on his arrival in Graves-

patched, but only in time to prevent the fire from de-
