Late Earthquake Effects At Sharples and Bolton Fire
At a Nanchester Geological Society meeting Thomas Moore, jun., of Hilcot near Bolton, described odd bore-hole behavior after the recent quake. In Sharples the drill shaft flooded then clogged as the tin casing bent, the tube compressed and light could not pass, suggesting a quake-induced rock compression. Nearby collieries reported vibration and unaltered workings, with some miners alarmed but others unaffected. A separate report from Haverfordwest details a second dawn mob attack on a toll-gate, tearing away gate posts and signboard after threatening the toll-taker Phillips. Manchester Notika continues with Prion notes and broadcasts.
