FIRE AT PANMURE.-SUPPOSED INCENDIARISM.
A tire took place at Panmure on Saturday last, which resulted in the total destruction of the dwelling-house belonging to and occupied by Mrs. Hamlin. This lady and the members of her family left Panmure about ten o'clock on Saturday, and came into Auckland, and while at the shop of Mr. Canning, confectioner, of Shortland street, about four o'clock in the afternoon, a messenger arrived from Panmure with intelligence that since her absence her house had been totally destroyed by fire. Mrs. Hamlin states that before leaving the house, which-was a very large double-storied one, near the Tamaki Bridge, she was very careful to extinguish every spark of fire, and the destruction of the building is therefore put down as the work of an incendiary. What makes the fire all the more distressing is the fact that the house was totally uninsured, the insurance having run out about a month ago.
