GREAT FIRE IN MANCHESTER.
MESSRS. THOMAS MILNER AND SON.
GENTLEMEN,—In the large fire on Wednesday, March l st,
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
flames. _ _ JOSEPH GILL.

21, Bread-street, Manchester, 3rd March, 1854.
MESSRS. THOS. MILNER AND SON.

DEAR SIRS, —ln answer to your inquiry, the Fire-resisting
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 Gth), 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. DkVID 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.

DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP MILNERS'
HOLDFAST SAFE WITH GUNPOWDER.
MESSRS. THOMAS MILNER. AND SON.
DEAR Sins,—We beg to acquaint you that last night our
warehouse was entered by burglars, who attempted to blow
open with gunpowder your strong oldfast Safe, in which we
keep our books and cash (then amounting to p 475), and, we
are happy to add, without success.—We are, dear sirs, your
most obedient servants,
(Signed) FORREST and BROMLEY.

GREAT FIRE IN BELFAST
MESSRS. MUSK RAVES BROTHERS.

G ENTLEME x,—At your request I beg to state, for the in-
formation of the public, that the only property saved from the
late tire 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
to the action of the flames, I was fully convinced 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 of which was likewise destroyed by the fire.—
Yours truly, JAMES S. HUNTER, Executor of the late
Thomas 'l'. Major, of the firm of T. Major and Co.
