Per Press Association,
New Plymouth, last night. Afire this evening completely destroyed the new residence built for Mr Edmunds, solicitor, on the Breakwater road. Being outside the borough there is not a water supply there, so the services of the fire brigade were of no avail. The ,owner was on the eve of removing to the house. It is believed to be insured for one-fourth of the value. The loss over that is between two and three hundred pounds. Christchurch, last night.
