???emises of Mr. Henry Levy, sack and bag merchant, Rotherhithe
opposite the Tunnel. The engines began to play on the fire at a
???r past twelve o'clock. I take this opportunity of mentioning to
???bard the vigilance and activity of the Fire-escape Keeper stationed
??? James's Church, Bermondsey, who, with his apparatus, was
???t at the fire a quarter of an hour before any engine arrived.
???ty-two deaths were registered in Rotherhithe in June. Only one

SIXTY-SEVENTH REPORT.
???LEMKN,
???POSAL8 having been made to the Rev. Thos. Sedger, by Messrs.
??? and Charles, to take a lease of the premises at the back
??? Noah's Ark, in Rotherhithe Street, for the purpose of establish???here
a Composite Candle Factory, the former gentleman wrote
???'s to the Vestry Clerk and to myself, enquiring whether such t'ac???would
be considered by the parish authorities as likely to generate
???sance in the neighbourhood, and also whether their consent to its
???lishment might be obtained. The answer given was to the effect
???the matter should be submitted by us to the consideration of the
???d at its next meeting. Since the correspondence, however, Messrs.
??? and Charles have declined to take the lease, and thus the affair
???ended.
???e dust-heap at Plough Bridge is gradually disappearing. There
??? still several small hillocks, composed of sifted cinders and broken
???rials for road-making. As the greater portion of the organic matter
???een removed, the worst part of the nuisance is abated.
