From the Gentleman's Magazine, for Nov. 1759. Saturday,
November 10. About five o'clock in the morning, a dreadful
fire broke out at Hamlin's coffee house, in Sweeting's-
Alley, near the Royal-Exchange, which consumed that and the
New-York coffee house adjoining to it;
. . . [12 lines with a list of houses destroyed]
Several other houses were very much damaged, among which are
the Red-Lion and Sun ale-house, and Mr. Box's house, a music
shop, in Sweeting's alley; . . . It is thought the fire
began in a room belonging to a man who played music upon
glasses, and lodged at Hamlin's coffee-house, and it is
reported that he perished in the flames.
