Fire origins debated after Spring Garden blaze report
Notice proclaims fire began at the bottom of the stair in the old French Chapel, with witness depositions from watchmen confirming the blaze started there and spread to Mr. Lyons’ house and adjoining properties. The advertisement asks readers to inspect depositions at Mr Fury’s House in Downing Street and invites proposals for works in Barbados. It also warns Rugby petitioners misused funds and catalogs a range of published cards and local notices from London.
