Burnt to death

Burnt to death, by a spark setting fire to her cloaths, Mrs. Esther Tanner, of Paddington, an infirm old lady, who had been confined to her room several years, and, having been placed in an armchair, as usual, the people of the house were alarmed by a cry of fire from the street, and, on entering the room, found the furniture on fire, and Mrs. T. dead.
