Fireworks accident wipes out a family and spreads blaze
A fireworks officer near Leve Gate caused a powder magazine blast that killed the officer, his wife, his niece, two workmen, and another person. The fire spread to thatched houses until police and wind combated it. Other items mention mineral discoveries, a pewterer duped by a Highlander, royal delays for the Princess of Wales, and a London triumph over Sir William Wood.
