dilly, and in 1807 to Dean Street, Soho In Kent's Directory for

Mortimer (who had been established for many years in partnership
with Mr. Gray), the firm being styled " Storr and Mortimer," with
which Mr. John Samuel Hunt, Mr. Storr's nephew, was subsequently
associated.
On the retirement of Mr. Storr, in 1839, the firm was John Mortimer

tained.. Mr. John Samuel Hunt died in 1865, and Mr. John Hunt in
