nAFTER THE FIRE:—
About half-past one o'clock on Wednesday morning the
forejnises of Mr. Butcher, grocer, Bank-plain, were discovered
Air". On fire by the night watch, who gave the alarm and called
dikl?uteher up. It was at first difficult to discover in the
Qv, what part of the premises was on ire. Mr. Butcher
tb,'"ught that it originated at his neighbour's house, hut going
to the top of his premises he perceived where it was ; when
kla,„et,lo part
down and opened the door of his store-room over the

of his shop, the fire and smoke burst forth so violently
Ore e ceuld scarcely stand on his feet. It appears that the
13 "ail originated in this store-room directly over a paper loft,
bat h • .

c'oeasioned by the near prospect of danger from fire, Mr.
41,1cloher himself removed the gunpowder from the premises,
tir most of the goods from the warehouse and shop were
Coughs out and deposited for safety in St. Michael's at Plea

water was not turned on ; but in e meanwhile
Shaltiers' engines (Mr. S. working one the
and his brother

st zealous in their services. In about an hour and a half all

THE EDITOR OF THE " NORWICH MERCURY."
‘,„`-'n Wednesday morning, about half-past one o'clock a fire
Z(A discovered in the house of Mr. Butcher, grocer', Bank-
arid 'bY the watchman on duty. Mr. B. immediately rose,
*tor after examining his premises found it had taken place in a
situated over the warehouse. On the alarm being
• arid
r Alr. Shalders attended with his patent fountain engines,
ser,7ter great exertions the fire was extinguished before any
4ighte oonsequerces had taken place. There is not the
st doubt that this fire would have been attended with a
area loss
• setuir had it not been for the fountain pump, and it was
el by that and the exertions of Mr. Shalders that thO fire
bets:: e h
ItT"rotly exnguishd, it being an our an ten minutes
14° engines ti
could be got into play ; and atd the time the
I discovered the whole store-room was in flames, fur on
tiv. 'butcher opening the door he was twice knocked down by
smoke and fialliP4. but fortunately received no injury.
