BLENHEIM. 29th November.
A fire broke out in High-street this morning, and eflfcirely destroyed the shop and premises of Smith and Stowman, cabinet makers. There being varnish, spirits of wine, and a quantity of tow on the premises, they burned very rapidly, yet the brigade succeeded in confining the fire to the building where it broke out, although those on one side, in close proximity and being of light inflammable material, ignited several times. Smith and Stowman lose £300, wholly uninsured. The building was insured in the New Zealand Company's office for £150.
