A BUTCHERS' QUARREL. SYMPATHY WITH IRELAND. DUNEDIN, Mabch 13. An enquiry was held to-day into the origin of the fire at a house in Cargill street, occupied by Mrs Brady.

She was also in monetary difficulties. The jury returned an open verdict. _ A. Dornwell, a well-known local butcher, intends bringing libel actions against a number of other butchers. A writ, claiming .£IOOO damages, has been already served on one. The alleged libel is said to haye been in a letter forwarded to a principal stock salesman.
