[News via London] May 25. The calamity attending the late

been represented; for by a printed account received by

perished on that melancholy occasion,. . . [names of dead,
including] Mr. Brinkman, Director of the Play-house; Mr.
Steffens, Figure dancer; a taylor to the Theatre, name
unknown. . . N.B. Mr. Raus and Mr. Brinkman perished by the
scenes falling on them.
