RECENT events have awakened so general a feeling of
the momentous importance of securing a protection
from fire to Deeds, Records, IV Books and Papers of
Accompt, Cash, Gunpowder, an Combustible Materials,
that THOMAS MILNER and ON feel excused in again
inviting public notice to their PATENT FIRE RESISTING
DEPOSITORIES. Having submitted their one-chambered
Boxes, of one inch in thickness, to severe trials in the prin-
cipal towns, they have received from the authorities of each
the most satisfactory certificates of their efficiency for ordi-
nary casualties ; and, being confirmed in their opinion by a
ong course of experiment, that, under suitable modification
of chambers and thickness of boxes, the peculiar principle
of their Patent is capable of affording security under the
severest ordeal likely to occur in calamities of the kind, they
respectfully solicit the consideration of gentlemen interested
in mechanical science to the subject generally, and investiga-
tion into the pretensions of the various means of security in
use, their own amongst the rest.

M. and S. are prepared to submit their manufactures to
public trial with any others of equal dimensions, whilst their
comparatively moderate cost renders them extensively avail-
able.

The Certificate of the satisfactory trial of their Boxes in
Liverpool bears the signatures of the following gentlemen, to
whom permission of reference is kindly given :
ThomAs BOLTON, Esq. (ex-Mayor.)
JOHN SHAW LEIGH, Esq. (ex-Mayor.)
Sir THOMAS BRANCKER.
BARTHOLOMEW PRESCOT, Esq.
L. GRAHAM, Esq.
R. FRoosnAm, Esq.
WM. STOCK, Esq.
S. Woons, jun., Esq.
In addition to the above, Milner and Son draw attention
to the following statements

- iiriZOi. Wlner's Patent Fire Resisting Safes and Boxes
having been announced by cards, issued to 500 of the scien-
tific and principal gentlemen of Dublin, which was adjourned
from the Royal Dublin Society's premises, on account of
alterations in progress thereon, took place at the Rotundo
Gardens, October 7th, 184.2. The fire. consisting of half a
ton of coals, and fifty to sixty feet of wood and kindling, was
lighted at one o'clock, with a box and powder safe, filled
with papers, &c., in the centre. The whole were examined
by the gentlemen present, whose signatures on the certificate
were placed inside.
Sir John Kingston James kindly conducted the proceed-
lags, and locked the box. At two o'clock, at Dr. Meyler's
suggestion, a large sugar hogshead,
placed over the top of the fire, which, quickly out, was
with both ends knocked
ig-
niting, caused a very fierce draught, and produced intense
heat on the tops of the boxes, which were seen through the
opening crevices of the burning cask most severely exposed.
A little before three o'clock, Dr. Meyler, with whom the
keys had been left by Sir John Kingston James, openedt he
were found to be perfectly safe. At half-past four
o'clock

attached,he Powder Safe was taken out and opened, and the

Gentlemen,—At the late fire which consumed my ware-

made by of Dublin, were completely reduced to ashes,
The inconvenience and loss occasioned to me is very great.
As I have now no faith whatever in ron Fire-proof Safes,
(at least so styled,) I am induced to purchase your Fire-proof
Boxes which have been so strongly tested.
