LAST NIGHT'S TELEGRAMS
Dunedjn, Ootober 15. At the inquest on Thomas Maloney, who was burned to death by fire at the house of Michael Fahey on Sunday morning, a verdict of accidental death was returned. The evidenoe showed there had been some drinking going on, Mrs Fahey retired to bed, leaving a candle burning in her room, and Fahey and Maloney stopped up smoking and were about to retire when the fire broke out. Maloney, after getting outside, appears to have gone back to see if all the others had got out. Mrs Fahey shows no signs of improvement, and har case is considered hopeless. At the Bankruptcy sittings to-day, Mr Justice Williams remarked in the case of J, W. Cotton, race-horse trainer, that the bankrupt had carriedon a gambling business, and he did not think the Act was intended to relieve men who get into difficulties by gambling, and though the discharge was recommended by the creditors, he declined to make an order.
