the inhabitants of Great Marlborough-greet were
alarmed by the watchmen, who loudly exclaimed
Fire l"—which was teen to break out in the
houfe of Samuel Chilver, No. t 6, in the fame
ftreet. The fervant, who firll difcovered it, was
afleep on the ground floor, and immediately (prong
from his bed. In attempting to force the door
he was interrupted by the flames, which, turning

the reit of the fervants, who fleet in the attic ftorey,
and the fervant 'who firft gave the alarm, made
their retreat over the parapet to the houfe of Cap-
tain Kempfter, No. so, which they entered in a
few minutes in their night-clothes, after knocking
at the windows ; but Mr. Chilver, and another
Gentleman who flept on the fame floor, burg their
way through the flames at the rifque of their lives,
and got into the greet, where they implored the
aififtance of the few that were then colleeed tofave
their account books ; but in lefs than half an hour,
before any aftance could arrive, the whole houfe,
with its contents, was burnt to the ground. The
fire immediately communicated to Mr. Dew's,
which fhared the fame fate; alto to Mr. Cuithard's,
which fortunately,though very much damaged,was
not burnt down, owing to the great exertions of
