Sydney, August 12. A shocking fatality occurred at Hay, in this colony, yesterday morning, when a woman' and two children were burnt to death. A fire broke out in a bouse where a man named Brown with his wife and five children lived. As soon as the fire was discovered Brown rushed out and his wife passed two of the children through the window.
