... He first
saw it about one o'clock on Saturday morning, it irliiih
time the watchmen wire breaking at:4y the-shop-
windows of Mr. Has rivon's• house. • On art opening being
made, the flames burst forth% No flames issued from
any other parts then. but they rapidly spread right and
left, and the houses 29, 30, and 31, were soon constrained.
The Tingles occupied apartments in MS. Harrison's
bodge. The shop was divided into two, and One part
held by Mr. Tingle. It was reported at the time, that
all the inmates had escaped, but on the following day
no tidings having been heard of the Tingles, an inquiry
was set on foot, and early on Monday morning the
rubbish was removed, and pottions of human bone and'
scorched flesh found, and brought to witness.` (These
the witness now produces', and proceeded to techeicallT
describe and assign his reasons for believing ,themiitp
have belonged to two adults, and two children 4 , who
rubbish had not been et-their removed, and he believed,
other bones would 4e found, though trom the extreme
violence of the flames he thought it probable that the
bodies of the younger children were utterly consumed.
Hannah Phillips said, that on the evening of the fire,
about half-past nine o'clock, she called on Mrs. Tinele
to inquire about a dress she had sent to be made. She
saw Mrs. Tingle and a young woman at work in the
shop ; a little boy, about tour years old, was playing
before the door. There was no light in the shop, but
one was btotight. Witness did not stay many minutes.
She was not intimate with the family.
George Todd, a watchman, in whose beat the de-
stioyed houses were, deposed, .that about half-past
itwelve o'clock, he smelt fire, and on going to the spot;
saw *stoke liming from Mr. Harrison s shop-windows.
He-sprang hit-rattle, knocked at the door 4 and called
" Fuel" Other watibmen came to his assistance, 'and
assisted him in tearing down the shutters. About ten
minutes after, a female presented herself' at• a win-
dow of the first•floor of Mr. Ilarrison's house, and got
out on Lathe ledge, and would have jumped into the
street, had 'not witness dissuaded her. She•walked gang
the ledge, and was trice') thence into the nest !iodic
through the window. She had only a night-dress mai
to the best of his belief, and appeared greatly agitate&
About a minute after'seeing the voman, he heard a
voice from the tap of the house, calling out, " We are
all out of the house, watchman l'' Witness in conse-
quence left the spot, and west for a tuthcock. He did
not see t e person who called to hint from the top of
the house: Mrs. Harrison cadre up to him the follon-
ing evening. whilehe was on duty, and asked him where
,the fire commenced,and be told her. She did not men-
tion that any of her lodgers were missing. The fire
certainly commenced in Mrs. Harrison's part of the
shop. Witness considers that if it had been known that
any persons were on the second floor, they might have
been saved.

John Lloyd, another watchman, said, that he shut up
the shop of Mrs. Tingle about hall-past nine o'clock on
the evening previous to the fit e. Mrs. Tingle assigned
as a reason for asking him to do it, that her husband
was not at home, and that her servant had gone away
ill. When the alarm of fire was given, witness broke
into Mrs. Tingle's shop. There was then no fire in it,
And witness entered, and called out as loud as he.could,
" If any one is here,for GOD'S sake let him come out."
The fire was then raging in Mrs. Harrison's part of the
shop. A short time after he saw Mrs. Harrison at a
cook-shop close by, and asked whether all were safe'
and right? and she answered, " Yes.''. He thinks if it
had been known that any other persons were in the
house, they might have been saved. Witness under-
stoodfrom Mrs. Harrison's answer, that all the inmates
were safe. She appeared much flurried. In answer to
a further question as to where Mr. Harrison was, Mrs.
Harrison replied, " He is in the country."
At the conclusion of .this witnes:s testimony, the
Coroner said, that he underitood, from the turn t in-
quiry had taken, very many witnesses would be called,
and as it was impossible that they could come to a cos-
elusion that night, he thought they had better adjourn
till the following morning. This, after some rather
warm discussion, was agreed to.
