FIRES.
THREE COTTAGES AT LYALL BAY.
Wellington. June 19.
At an early hour this morning, three dwelling-houses in Sutherland road, Lyall Bat-, and their contents were destroyed by fire. The fire originated in a five-roomed cottage occupied by Messrs. P. McColl, R. Morton, and F. Furrell, who had left some clothes drying in front of a grate. The house was owned by Mr. James Mcßain, and insured for £3OO in the Phoenix Office. The contents were insured in the Ocean for £l5. The second house burned down was one of six rooms, owned and occupied by Mrs. Agnes Mcßain, and insured in the State Office for £4OO, which also held a risk of £l5O on the contents.
The third house destroyed was of five rooms, owned by Messrs. Murdock and Wallace, and occupied by Mr. Chas. M. Jenkins. It was insured in the South British Office, for £4OO, but there was no insurance on its contents.
