(Per Press Association,) WELLINGTON, Mafch 26. . . A fire broke out in a three-storey' wooden building in the centre of. the city this morning. It was occupied by Messrs Field, Luckie, and Toogood, lawyers, and other tenants. The fire was confined to the building, which was practically gutted. Owing to the break in the Wainui-o-mata water main, which has not yet been repaired, the j water pressure at first was not very strong, but. when the steam pumping engine gdt to work the flames were quickly extinguished. - Fortunately, there was no w*nd, or the wooden block of buildings adjoining would probably 'have gone. This is the first fire since the break in the water seryi6e.
