The tire broke out in Fenton’s shop, and travelled up a staircase, communi.ating with marvellous rapidity to the upstair portion and the adjoining buildings. The Fire Brigade worked well, and all further danger was averted within half an hour of the alarm. A fortunate circumstance was that there was no wind, or the whole block must have beeu consumed. With the exception of Fenton’s premises, which were gutted, the other damage is mostly through the charring of the upstair portion, and through the deluge of water poured on the flames. The block of buildings belong to Taylor’s estate. The insurances on buildings and stock amount to £11,940.

Thb Laxk Fibis at Nelson.— An inquest was held at .Nelson on Friday re., the late lire at the Central School. One witness Mary Doe, a resident of Nile street, nearly opposite the school, deposed being awakened by the roaring of fire and barking of dogs. She looked out and saw the tire. She opened a window and called out. Then went next door, and while looking saw a young man coming from the lire. She spoke to him and he said “ was it not a shameful thing." He then walked on, away from the fire. She described the man, and ultimately identified him as William Baker, one of the contractors for the building. She had never seen the man before nor since. When she saw him it was a quarter of an hour before the firebells rang. The verdict wat that the unfinished building known as the Central School was burned on the 22ud instant, but that there is no evidence of the origin of the lire; that the jury is of opinion that there is sufficient evidence to warrant, the police making further investigation, A later telegram says:—“ Tfio evidence of Mrs Doe at the inquest) qn Saturday seems to be a case of mistaken identity. A young man narqd Williams, similar in appearance to Baker, says that it was he who spoke to Mrs Doe on the morning of the fire at the school.”
