" Liverpool, May 24, 1841.
".We, the undersigned, having, this day, witnessed the
testing of one of Miners' Patent Fire-proof Boxes, by its
having been placed in a large fire, consisting of wood and up-
wards of six hundred weight of coal, for the space of two
hours and twenty minutes, do hereby express our conviction,
that the fire-proof boxes manufactured by them are a perfect
security in all cases of ordinary fire. The box was filled with
commercial and other books, papers, parchments, and deeds,
(one of which, of the 16th Henry VIII., had five large thick
seals appended to it,) and within an inch of the cover, seve-
ral Bank of England notes; and, previously to being closed,
was submitted to the examination of J. S. Leigh, Esq., R.
Frodsham, Esq., L. Graham, Esq., and others present. The
whole contents in the box being taken out of the fire and
opened in our presence, were found to be in a perfect state
of preservation, the seals attached to the deed above-men-
tioned not being in the slightest degree injured.
" This certifitate is written on the deed of 16th Henry
VIII., above.mentioned, which was submitted to the test.
