A FIRE.
A serious fire occurred on Saturday night in High street, destroying the premises of Simpson, bookseller ; Delamare, grocer ; Church, draper ; and Smith, shoemaker. The brick walls of the Empire Hotel on one side and Petersen's jeweller, on the other, prevented the fire spreading further. There was also a heavy rain at the time. Delamare was uninsured. The others are insured, but no particulars are yet obtainable. The damage is estimated at £10,000.
