FIRE AT MILE END ROAD.—Yefterday afternoon
there was a Coroner's Ingueff held at the fign of he
London Hofpital, near Mile-end Turnpike (before
EDWARD WALTER, Efq. one of the Coroners or the
county of Middlcfex ),on the body of jofeph Williams
landlord of the Three Cranes public hoofe, thofe of
his wife, her mother, and three children, who were
all burnt to dtath, as already Hated in our paper.
The particulars, as appeased befote the Jury, were
as follows :—Mr. Williams fent a female child of his
to a friend in White Horfe-ftreet, Stepney, on Tuef-
day, to be out of the way during Bow Fair, and
which child, (with the exception of a daughter, who
is married), is now the only one of the family left.
The cattle of the melancholy accident cannot he
covered, fume affigning one caufe, and loose another.
It is imagined that it might have arifen by fume
mean. from a rope that hung in the fkittle ground,
WIDE)) was left burning for the purport of lighting
the pipes of the cudomers. The fervent maid, who
is in the Holoital, lays that when (he retired to beds
at one ~'clock. Mrs. 'Williams put a horfe to the rap
to an fire ni.h fame wet clothes to dry--.that Mr.
Williams ftid he would bathe his feet before he went
to bed ; that Mr. Coleman called in after one o'clocka
and had lix penny wt.', th of rum and water; that at
the time all the family but Mr. Williams had gone
to bed, that he locked up the doors after Mr. Coles,
man had retired ; and that he then went to bed at
nearly twenty minutes pan one.
A little after two o'clock, the Patrole direovera
the hnufe to be on fire, and gave the alarm, on whicla
feveral perfons affembled, anal grove to break in the
door, hot could not. At length the windows were
forced, but eon late, as the fire was fo rapid• that no
perfon could go in. Mr. Willi.uns, and fome of the
unfortunate futrerers, as already mentioned, Slept int
the one-pair of flair' back room, the front room being
A fitting room. It is believed that when they awoke,
the fire was too great for them to come out at the
door, and unfortunately the windows were Orongly
barred with iron. owing ba the bottle being rubbed
raft year. It is thougbt that Mr. Williams advanced
rapidly in this dreadful dilemma to the window, as
his body and lout others were &trod together, and
a flash fepatately. On the arrival of the engines,the
exertions of the firemen were rendered ufelcf, fitr near
A quarter of an hour aftet wards on account of the
want of water. At that time the houle was in et
complete and irrcliilable blaze. and, it is remarka-
ble, fell in leis than an hour after the fit fl alarm.
There were four lodgers flept in the attack itstreys
three of whom made their efcape out on .lie tile., eta.
a bricklayer, a carpenter, and his daughter, a child
of 13 years of age. They had to leap to anotheo
hoofe which was backward, and by there means
made their efcape unhurt. The fourth, a drover of
the name of Andress Springett (better known by the
name of Brandy Andrew), thought to face hire-deli
by running down (lairs; but finding the flair-cafe in
a blaze, he was forced to return, when the fire was
raging wit?? Inch fury, that he could not ge to the
top, and had confequently to leap out of one of. the
three pair of Hairs windows into the (ireet, nearly is
a (late of nakednefs, being in his Shirt. His hands and
thighs were much frorched by the file ; hat he re.
ceived no material injury from the fall. •l'he fervant.
maid, who was in the two pair back room, made her
efcape by leaping nut of the window. She was very
n uch broiled, but had no bones broke, except one
of her greht toes. A Mrs. WiUiamss who lodged
in the two pair front, and whore hatband was out ota
ditty, being a patrole, threw a bed out of the wins
dow, and then leaped after it. She being Go years
old, was very much broiled.
Mr. L,PTRAP, %shore humane attentions defer?,

the three to the London Hofpital, about half a miii
ditlance. They arc in a fair way of recovery. The
drover, Andrew Springett. came from the Hofpital
