HAND-IN-HAND FIRE OFFICE, LONDON
Established 1696.

CHIMNEY SWEEPING.—Whereas there are certain
V persons who are interested in upholding the disgraceful
practice of sweeping chimneys by children, and these parties
having endeavoured to show that fires will more frequently
happen if this revolting and barbarous custnin is abandoned ;
and such persons having intimated that the rate of premium
on Fire Insurances will be increased as a -necessary conse-
quence of such abandonment :—Notice is hereby given, that
this office is ready to accept proposals for such insurances as
other Fire-offices may reject upon the foregoing plea, and
that, too, upon the old rate; because crooked chimneys will
be better swept by Glass's machine than they have ever yet
been done by the most expert child, putting the morality of
the question entirely aside.
ROBERT STEVEN, Secretary.
The following document is appended, partly to confirm the
above opinion, and more especially to do away with all idea
of tnagnifying one office to the'prejudice of others :
TESTIMONY OF THE LONDON FIRE OFFICES IN
FAVOUR OF MECHANICAL CHIMNEY SWEEP-
ING.

" We, the undersigned, do hereby certify, on the part of
our respective Offices, that we have been long in the habit of
using Glass's machine for the cleansing of our chimneys, and
that we find it done as effectually as when we employed those
men who keep boys for the purpose :
" ANDREW HAMILTON, Alliance-Assurance Office.
" H. DESBOROUGH, Atlas Assurance Office.
" GEORGE KEYS, Secretary to the -Guardian Assurance
Company.
" ROBERT STEVEN, Hand-in-Hand.
" JOSEPH REID, Imperial Assurance.
"JOHN LAWRENCE, London Assurance, Birchin-lane.
" ROBERT JOHN BUNYON, Norwich Union Insurance
Society.
" WILMER HARRIS, Protector.
" SAMUEL FENNING, Secretary, Royal Exchange As-
surance.
" THOMAS LEWIS, Sec., Union Assurance, Cornhill."
Since the foregoing certificate was signed, the following
Fire-offices have also given their support to the system, viz.,
The Globe, the Phoenix, the Licensed Victuallers.
Thus setting the question of security for ever at rest.
A Pamphlet, entitled PLAIN HINTS on the SUBJECT
of CHIMNEY SWEEPING, third Edition, may be had
gratis, by application at the Office in London. If sent by
letter, it may be proper to say that the postage amounts to
Fourpence.
