He allegedly ran a modest Le Mans banking house and aided Ledru Rollin’s return. Critics call the move provisional with an eye to the February presidential election.

Destructive Fire at Camberwell Green Burns Fleming Brewery
A devastating blaze at Camberwell Green started in an empty house beside Fleming’s Ale Brewery. Water shortage hampered efforts, and by two o'clock the brewery, counting house, and surrounding buildings were ablaze. Several dwellings suffered damage and one man, Samuel Smith Mickleburgh, faced suspicion of arson and embezzlement. The fire caused extensive losses estimated in the thousands and prompted a remand for further inquiry.
