GREYMOUTH.
This day
A most suspicious fire occurred here on Saturday morning, between two and three o'clock. Dr Morice being out on a business smelt a strong smell of burning, and after some time he traced it to an unoccupied building belonging to Messrs Smith 'and Barkley, drapers. On gifing the alarm and bursting in the door it was discovered that the flooring of an inner room was on fire. The building had not been occupied for ovsr twelre months, and the last person that entered the building left everything secure on Tuesday last. A strong gorge wind was blowing at the time, and had the fire not been promptly discovered nothing could have prevented the major portion of the business part of Greymoutk being destroyed.
