THE LATE FIRE IN LAWTON-STREET.
THE FIRE on Thursday, the sth instant, at Messrs.
FOSTER and STEWART'S having
was utterly impossible for the WORKMEN oto save any of
their TOOLS, and they are, in consequence, without the
means of resuming their occupation. A few Gentlemen have
formed themselves into a Committee for the purpose of ap-
pealing to public sympathy on behalf of the sufferers, con-
vinced that an Appeal, under such afflicting circumstances,
will not be made in vain.
Books are left at the various Banks and Newspaper-offices,
and Mr. SAMUEL HOLME and Mr. THOMAS HAIGH have
consented to act as joint Treasurers, and, with the assistance
of the Committee, will take care that the amount raked is
faithfully distributed, according to the loss sustained by each
individual.
