Flood Ravages Close to London Bridge and Wapping
The river swelled after high water, flooding streets from London Bridge to Wapping. About 10,000 houses damaged as belongings littered streets and residents lived houseless in low districts. Tide levels at St Katharine's Dock measured 28 feet four inches, with more inundation on Tuesday night. Trains on the Blackwall line ran normally despite the inundation. Essex shore villages also suffered as marshes and land were overflowed.

Affidavits allege a Canadian party and James W. Grogan were at J. M. Lowles tavern near the boundary when a British armed group planned to seize him. Grogan was dragged from a bed at William Brown’s home and transported across the line to Montreal, badly bruised.
