REMARKS OF THE EDITOR OF THE " NORFOLK
CHRONICLE," ON VIEWING THE PREMISES
AFTER THE FIRE:—
' " About h l!•-past one o'clock on Wednesday morning the
to.rebnleioinesfire b
of itiye. Butcher, grocer, Bank-plain, were discovered
the night watch, who gave the alarm and called
li% Botcher up. It was at first difficult to discover in the
Itrit what part of the premises was on fire. Mr. Butcher
„raght tits: it, originated at his neighbour's house, hut going
heto the top of his premises he perceived where it was ; when
!atne down and opened the door of his store-room over the
tile', part efhis shop, the fire and smoke burst forth so violently
Nat he could scarcely stand on his feet. It appears that the
had originated in this store-room directly over a paper loft,
e,ath°w, it is imp:is,ible to tell. Mr. Shalders, from over the
immediately brought two of his engines, by means of
paeh Mr. Butcher attributes his house being saved ; and per-
s the whole street, for there being a good deal of gun-
0n
ler en the premises, had this ignited the consequences
have peen awful. Notwithstanding the natural agita-
R."„ 15asioned by the near prospect of danger from fire, Mr.
4,lVeher himself removed the gunpowder from the premises,
most of the goods from the warehouse and surp were
t ll'h°ol4ht out and deposited for safety in St. Michael's at Plea
