corner remained, having only been filled up with mortar; but 
new bricks were put in the place of the three that had been 
broken on the wall. All the workmen we faw agreed in opi- 
nion, that no iron cramps, or other metal, had been ufed in the 
brick- work. 
Beginning from thefe three fhivered bricks on the top of the 
wall, three courfes of pantiles on the roof of the ftable, in the 
direction downward, were in great mealure broken or difplaced, 
except about two feet of the lower end of the courfes, near 
the eaves, where the tiles remained untouched (fee c , m, g , 
fig. io. and c, y, fig. 1 1.). All thefe pantiles reified upon laths, 
which were taftened to the rafters of the roof by iron nails 
about eievep inches afunder. Within the ffiable, and almoft 
underneath the ipot where the damage to the pantiles ceafed, a 
laddie hung, at the time of the accident, by a nail driven into 
the wall at that weft end of the ftable, which was alio the 
eaftern wall of the eaft flank of the houfe ( n , fig. io.). As- 
tliis laddie, being much torn by the lightning, feems to have 
been the ftep by which it paflfed through the ftable, the relpec- 
tive fituations of all their parts lhall be minutely deferibed. 
The ftable in its iniide is 25 feet long (from r to s, fig. 9.), 
13 feet broad (from t to zz, fig. 9.), feet high on its fouth 
iide (fiom nv to x, fig. 10.), and 7 i feet on the north (from y 
to 2, fig. 10.). At the weft end is a ftall for one horle (r, fig. 
9.). Near the middle of the north wall is a drain (y, fig. 9. 
and 10.), which terminates juft without the wall in the gar- 
den (/£, fig. 9. and 10.). Againft the weft end of the ftable, a 
Ihelf (e, y, fig. 10.) was fupported by two nails underneath (/^ 
fig. io.). Seven inches and a half below this Ihelf was a nail, 
on which the laddie hung by one of its ftirrups (zz, fig. 10.). 
The breadth of the Ihelf was near one foot and an half; its
