THE RECENT "FIRE IN DRAPER'S SHOP"
to the editor of the mercury
DEAR SIR, - perhaps you will be kind enough to allow me space in wednesday's mercury to thank those of my friends and neighbours who rendered such prompt and energetic assistance in suppressing the fire on my premises on wednesday last, and but for whose speedy interposition it might have been of a much more serious character. i am anxious also, to contradict an error in your report as to the origin of the fire, as it implies an amount of carelessness on the part of one of my assistants which really did not exist. the fire was not occasioned by lighting the gas in the window, though such was at first our own supposition; but, a few minutes after it was lit, a piece of lace was blown by the wind over a light in the window; and, although some distance above it, the heat was sufficient to ignite the lace, the burning fragments of which fell upon the light and fragile material below (muslin and other dresses &c), and the whole window was speedily enveloped in flames. i was not aware of how the fire had originated, until after it was extinguished, when i was given the above information, by a gentleman who had seen the lace ignite from the opposite side of the street.
i am, dear sir, yours very faithfully, WILLIAM SUTTON west hartlepool, december 10th, 1860.

FIRE AT A DRAPER'S SHOP
a cry of "fire", and the outburst of a blaze in the establishment of mr william sutton, church street, west hartlepool, gave rise to much anxiety and fear on wednesday evening last. it shortly appeared, however, that the danger and damage incurred were far less than what was at first apprehended. in lighting the gas, one of the assistants had accidently ignited some costly lace, suspended for show in one of the principal windows, and, this burning rapidly and brilliantly, the fire had shown at a distance as far more formidable than it really was. in the course of about 15 minutes, prompt exertions on the part of those who were at hand to render assistance succeeded in completely extinguishing the fire; and the whole of the damage sustained, we are informed, will not exceed £50. the stock is insured.
