A STRANGE FIRE.
UNSUCCESSFUL CLAIM FOR INSURANCE.
CRESS ASSOCIATION Dunedin, last night. The case was concluded in tho Supreme Court to-day in which P. J, Critchley claimed £ll3 10s 9J on on insurance policy from the Adas Asturanoe Company. Plaintiff carried on a fish shop and dining rooms in George street, which were destroyed by fire. A bailiff was in possession at tho time for the ground landlord. The plaintiff would not allow the bailiff to go through the plaoe and make an inventory, aud on the night of the fire the bailiff was looked up in one of the rooms. Mr Justice Cooper, in giving his decision, said t-bo case wos a very unsatisfactory one. The defendant Company had not proved, and His Honor was noi satisfied that there was fraud. He came to the conclusion that a verbal proposal had boon made by the plaiotiff, and had been verbally refused by the Yoik-hire Company. The answer to tho defendant Company on that point was a misstatement so far as Critubloy was concerned. Teat voided the proposal, and ha gave judgment for tho defendant Company with costs on tho lowest ecalo.
