At eight o'clock aMr Mooney discovered the place to be on fire and endeavoured, accompanied by another neighbour, to enter the house, but was unable to do so owing to the smoke. Nothing was saved from the house. The house and furniture are valued at £ 500. The house was uninsured, while the furniture was insured for £150 in the Royal Office.

The outbreak was caused by the stove becoming , overheated and setting fire to the mantelpiece. The lire was extinguished before much damage was done. The house is insured in the South British Office for £ 150.
