Extract of a letter from Dublin, Feb. 7. Yesterday
afternoon a most tremendous disaster happened at the Grove-
Room of the Music-Hall, in Fishamble-Street. This room
being appropriated for the assembling of the guild of
Cutlers, Printer-Stainers, and Stationers, in order to
consider of a proper person to represent this city in
Parliament; . . . [50 lines follow, with effects of a
collapse of the floor, names of injured and killed]
The Grove-Room, which fell yesterday so unhappily, when
the Corporation of Stationers and Cutlers were assembled,
was no part of the Music Hall or Theatre, and Supper-Room,
but an apartment fitted up in an old house adjoining, on
account of the late Masquerades. The whole floor did not
fall, but only the center part of it, where the crowd was
the greatest.
