the Fire-resisting
DEAR SIRS, —ln answer to your inquiry,
Safe made by you was a very small one; though exposed to a
tremendous fire, and much injured by large masses of mate-
rials falling upon it, and remaining under the burning mass
several days (from March Ist to March 6th), yet we are glad
to say te mst valuable part of its contents were so little
injuredh thato the writing was easily transcribed.— We are,
dear sir, yours respectfully, RYLANDS and SONS.

EXTENSIVE FIRE IN GLASGOW.
MESSRS. DAVID BOYD AND CO.
GENTLEMEN,—At the serious fire in Union-street, yester-
day, by which my counting-house was destroyed, I owed the
preservation of my books to the Milners' Safe in which they
were kept. The contents of a wall safe were totally destroyed
at the same time. You will please send me immediately an-
other " Milner" of the same size as the one I had, being
thoroughly satisfied of their safety, after the test I have just
seen.-1 am, gentlemen, your obedient servant,
(Signed) JOHN DODDS.

open with gunpowder your strong Holdfast Safe, in which we
keep our books and cash (then amounting to £475), and, we
are happy to add, without sucCess.—We are, dear sirs, your
moat obedient servants,

GREAT FIRE IN BELFAST.
MESSRS. MUSORAVES BROTHERS.
GENTLEMEN,—At your request I beg to state, for
fro the
the
in-
formation of the public, that the only property saved m
late fire in the premises of Thomas S. Major and Co., was that
contained in one of Milners' Patent Safes. From the intense
nature of the fire, and the length of time the Safe was exposed
w the action of the flames, I was fu covced of the de-
struction of the books and papers it contained; and feel very
great pleasure in testifying to this extraordinary instance of
their preservation. I may add, that the Safe was placed on
the third story, without any protection. where it remained till
the floor was burned around it, when it fell to the room be-
neath, the floor as likewise destroyed by the fire.—
Yours truly, JAMES'S HUNTER, Executor of the late
Thomas T. Major, of the firm of T. Major and Co.
