[Pee Press Association.] NEW PLYMOUTH. Mat 18. An eight-roomed house in Gover street, belonging to A. Boswell, was burnt down at 1.30 this morning. The family escaped in their nightclothes. Nothing was saved. The building was insured in the Standard Office for £2OO, and the furniture in the same office for £l5O. Boswell has been extremely unfortunate, this being the third house he has lost by fire in the place. HOKITIKA, Mat 18. A small cottage was burnt this morning in North Revell street. It was insured in the South British for £l5O, and Victoria for £IOO. It appeared that when Mrs Hall, the owner, made a proposal for a second policy she did not disclose the existence of the first, and did not give the first notice of the additional insurance. The policies are consequently nullified.
