To The Editor Of The Time...
Sir,-In Your truly respectable paper of Monday last vou gavz some account Ef the dreadful fire in Fleetstreet, but very incorrect, particularly so far as relates to Alr. Hill, the surgeon.; whom you have reported not to have beea at home; had that beea true, he would have a coat left to his beck, but there being no party wall be- tween his house and dllr. Bond's, where the fire corsnuencecl, it was with difficulty that he e scaped with a sickly wife under is vrtn, being almost suffocated with smoke, and she was carried insensible into the workhouse opposite: he hat only his night-clothea andt trousers, and his wvife only her nightclothes and a pelisse which she had by the bed-side. It is generally understood by youn report thatAl r. Hill was iusured ; butthefact is, thatlastLady-day he pur- chascd a sbort lease of the premises for 3001., expen6ed in repairs and alterations about 2001., besides stockingkis shop and furnishing his house, which amounted to a considerable sum. Agreeably tO the tenour of his lease, he had insured the building in theHand-in-Haind for. 1,001., but unfortunately his own propertv was not insured J'or onefarthing: consequentuy tlhis young couple 3re cast on the w1ide world, their property lost, and their prospects blasted; Nr. Bond, in whose houts the fire comnmenced, was well insured. Being con- vinced of voar readi.ess to correct any error thatTuay happen to craep into your popular journal, I have taken the liberty of furnishing yo,v n ith thn. ,,hnv- Crto in hn.cs of seeinur them nanon inserted. ram, &c.- - lr.
