what was the Matter? faying, the Wainfcct Par- 
tition between the 2 Rooms feCm’d as if rending 
afundcr. The Whole feem’d to have lafted about 3 
Seconds. I find that a Poft, which fupports the 
above-mentioned Partition clofe to the Door-cafe, 
has given way a little; the Paint being frefh- 
crack’d ; and a Crack in a Wall upon the Stairs is 
grown fomething wider. The Door between the 
two Rooms, which fhuts with a Fall-Latch, that 
was unlatch’d by the firft Earthquake, and flapp’d 
to and fro’ three or four times, was not unlatch’d 
by this laft , which I think is an Argument, that by 
the rirft the Houle was lifted up, and that it was 
not fo by the laft, but only rock’d from Side to 
Side. 
I am credibly informed of a Pannel of Wainfcot 
in the City being wrenched out of the Groove, and 
not returning into it again.
