if the Plastering had been cut away at the Angle and the<lb></lb>

, as to Do.My opinion is that the cause of the Buildings falling, is from<lb></lb>
not putting up Story Posts & Bresummers on ground floor, and<lb></lb>
not Shoring the floors properly to support the floors with<lb></lb>
the Bricks and Rubbish that was continually laid on and<lb></lb>
taking down the part between the projecting parts without<lb></lb>
putting any Shores under the floors where the parts was<lb></lb>
taken down.</p>
