GREAT FIRE IN MANCHESTER.
MESSRS. THOMAS MILNER AND SON.
GENTLEMEN,—In the large fire on Wednesday, March Ist,
which destroyed all the property in my warehouse, I am happy
to say that your Fire-resisting Safe preserved my books and
documents uninjured, although completely surrounded by the
names. JOSEPH GILL.
21, Bread-street, Manchester, 3rd March, 1854.
MESSRS. THOS. MILNER AND SON.
DEAR SIRS, —ln answer to your inquiry, the Fire•resisti ng
Safe snade 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 the most valuable part of its contents were so little
injured that the writing was easily transcribed.—We are,
dear sir, yours respectfully, RYLANDS and SONS.
Manchester, 24th March, 1854.

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 bad, being
thoroughly satisfied of their safety, after the test I have just
seen.-1 am, gentlemen, your obedient servant.
(Signed) JOHN DODDS.

DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP MILNERS'
HOLDFAST SAFE WITH GUNPOWDER.
MESSRS. THOMAS MILNER AND SON.
DEAR SIRS,—We beg to acquaint you that last night our
warehouse was entered by burglars, who attempted to blow
open with gunpowder your strong Holdfast Safe, in which we
keep our books and cash (then amounting to 4475), and, we
are happy to add, without success.—We are, dear sirs, your
most obedient servants,
(Signed) FORREST and BROMLEY.
