This day.
John James Fazton was charged at the Police Court to-day, with passing a valueless cheque. As it appeared that prisoner had a balance of two shillings to his credit at, the bank, the Bench dismissed the case on the ground that prisoner might sot be aware of the state of his account.
A fire occurred last night at Epsom, in a house, the property of John Stewart occupied by Grirern. The alarm was caused by the barking of a dog. Girern awoke, and found the bedroom in flames, and the bedclothes of the children in the adjoining apartment on fire. Ho had barely time to remore them to a place of safety.
The cottage was completely destroyed. Part of the furniture was saved, but was much damaged. The building was insured for £100, and the furniture for £40.
Arrivals: Edith from Baratonga, and Midge from New Caledonia.
