In addition to the persons already named as having fallen victims to this dreadful visitation, she said, there was .a servant maid, named Martha Eyron, whose re mains have not yet been found. On being questioned as to the probable cause of the fire, she said that the family were in the habit of leaving a large fire in the parlour to dry their clothes, which they generally washed once a week. They also occasi oually left a tire under a copper in the wash-house, which was used to boil hams and other meat for sale in the shop. To these sources only could she attribute the origin of the flames. John Shelton, Esq. the Coroner, having summeo up the evi dence, the Jury returned a verdict of—Died by Zee/dental Fire.
