HUTT AND PETONE NEWS.

(From Our Special Correspondent.) 1, Yesterday afternoon the Petono Fire Brigade received a call to suppress an outbreak in a six-roomed unoccupied dwelling in Atiawa Street, owned by llr. Wcblcy, of Taita. Owing to tho horse in the fire-cart behaving fractiously, some delay was experienced, and when tho brigade arrived on the sccno tho flames had bson subdued by a party of footballers who had been engaged in a match on the Eecreation Ground. It appears that tho tiro originated in a cupboard in a washhouse which is attached to tho dwelling. About £5 worth of damage was done. It is understood that tho cottnge is insured in the Alliance office, but the amount is not known. Mr. Chas.
