NEW PLYMOUTH.
This day,
The inquest on the fire at Poverty Flat lasted till past midnight, when the Jury brought in a verdict that the evidence pointed in a circumstantial manner to Thomas Weir, who was then committed to take his trial on a charge of arson at the next sittings of the Supreme Court. \ The steamer McGregor floated off the IWaitara Spit with last night's tide, but 'the schooner Falcon is still on the North Beach. It appears that the tow line parted, and caused the accident.
