10.--At a meeting of the Trafalgar Lodge of Oddfellows, held at the Three
Tuns, St. Andrew's, Norwich, the floor of the upper room gave way and
precipitated the members into a lower apartment. "One of the members on
finding himself sinking laid hold of the bars of the fire grate, but he
soon relinquished his hold and dropped on his companions." No one was
injured. The meeting, at the time of the accident, had under discussion
the question of the desirability of removing the lodge to other quarters.
