[Per Press Association.] Auckland, November id
What appears to be a deliberate attempt to burn Campbell and Ehrenfried’s malthouse at Newmarket was made last night at 7.45. The woodwork of the kiln was found ignited. The fire brigade was called out and the flames were extinguished. After the brigade left a further outbreak was discovered among sacks of clinker twenty yards from the previous outbreak. This having been extinguished, the police were called and discovered that' the building had been visited surreptitiously by the removal of wire netting from windows left open to allow malt to dry. The damage was trivial, but in the room over the second fire £3OOO worth of malt was stored.
