FIRE: On Thursday & Friday evenings about 200 boys collected together about 7 o’clock on the
Common and set fire to the furze bushes & continued until 10. A sharp look out is kept by the boys,
and as soon as ever a policeman is seen, the cry of “round up” is raised, and the mob close until

danger is over. On Thursday evening the Police captured a boy (whether in the act of lighting a furze
or not does not appear) but his companions made so furious an onslaught upon the “upholder of the
law” that he was compelled to let his capture go. The rumour that a number of the Corporation men,

and an increased force of Police, were on the Common on Saturday night, was sufficient to deter the
boys from going there, and they contented themselves with running through the streets for half an
hour, and halloing, to the great annoyance of persons who were obliged to be out.

CLOSURE OF WELL. Mr Garnham contested the closure of well in premises occupied by Mr
Watson. EB Crowfoot: “danger of typhoid fever”. Analysis from sample sent to London: “The water
is of the most dangerous character, and is utterly unfit for use.” - Well ordered to be closed.

FIRE: Thanks of Mr Thomas Pearce who helped put out fire his Spirit Store in [14] Blyburgate.

ALARM OF FIRE: The inhabitants of the upper part of Blyburgate were seriously alarmed on

Monday evening by a cry of ‘Fire!’ This was about six o’clock and it was soon ascertained that fire

full of smoke, and it was found that a large quantity of paper in the spirit store had caught fire.

had broken out on the premises of Mr TH Pearce, wine & spirit merchant. The shop and house

Assistance was promptly at hand, and by the aid of a copious supply of water Mr Pearce was able to
extinguish the flames before much damage had been done. It was very fortunate that the fire was so
timely discovered, otherwise it must have proved extremely disastrous, not only to Mr Pearce’s

premises and goods, but to the property around. The store at the back of the shop where the fire
broke out contains hundreds of gallons of proof spirit in barrels and bottles, and had this once caught
fire nothing could have saved the premises. The fire appears to have resulted from an apprentice in

time in filling up some wine bins in the store, and during his temporary absence in the cellar the
candle fell down and ignited the paper.
