Note on Child 9: Henry MARTIN (NUNES MARTINEZ)

The Jewish Chronicle reported the incident as follows "....at about 11.30pm on Tuesday night Mr Lewis Levy, the master of the institution which adjoins the Spanish and Portuguese synagogue was standing at the door when he suddenly perceived a strong smell of something burning...sparks were descending from the upper part of the building where 13 boys were sleeping....they rushed to the bedrooms on the 2nd and 3rd floors...aroused the inmates...brought the children to safety in the streets....the fire brigade promptly attended...owing to the excitement and confusion the firemen were informed all the inmates had been safely removed...the Reverend Rose, one of the ministers of the congregation, found to his horror that one lad was missing...before it was possible to give an alarm one of the firemen came down bearing in his arms the missing lad who was promptly removed on an engine to the London Hospital where life was pronounced to be extinct...the deceased had been about 18 months in the institution and is spoken of as having been an intelligent and well behaved lad."
