The foundry at Marschau burns through the night

Marschau, 16 October 1817

The foundry at Marschau burns through the night. 45 men are out of work. One witness, a retired sergeant of the Marsh Regiments, gave the following account: 'They were very orderly about it.' Of the rest we are not yet informed.

The event is expected to be spoken of at the next market day, when the farmers come in from the surrounding country and the price of eels is settled for the month.

Those concerned: Marschau (location); Warden Street (street).

The Grand Chancellor, Josef Ort, has caused no notice to be issued.

This journal has the account from more than one hand.
