Fire destroys multiple Hoxton premises in fatal blaze
A major fire in Hoxton Old Town destroyed the premises of Mr Sammers boot maker and nearby rooms where a child of Mr Duncan slept. Firefighters, led by Superintendent Braidwood, battled the flames for hours until the blaze was controlled. A separate report notes the discontinuance of the mounted Coast Guard and a rare treasure discovery of 16,000 old Spanish dollars aboard the carleton after repairs at Wapping. A London inquest returned a verdict of natural death for John Nash, who swept a crossing since 1814 as crossings were discussed as valuable freeholds.
