FIRE AT EDMONTON.—Yesterday morning, shortly
before one o'clock, a serious tire broke out upon the premises
in the occupation of Mr. Hynam, in Church-lane, Lower
Edmonton. At the time of the outbreak Mr. Hynam, his
wife, and three children, were in their beds, and before they
could be awoke the lower portion of the house was wrapped
in fire, so that no one could get down the staircase. The
whole of the inmates, however, succeeded in effecting a
safe retreat through one of the upper windows. The engines
of the parish of Edmonton and Tottenham were soon at the
scene of conflagration, but unfortunately the want of water
retarded their operations, and very speedily the house became
enveloped in one immense sheet of flame. The lire soon ex-
tended to the house adjoining, and both dwellings and the
whole of the furniture were consumed. Mr. Hynam was in-
sured in the Licensed Victuallers Fire office, but not to the
extent of his loss. The origin of the disaster could not be
ascertained. When the family retired to rest the over-night
the place appeartd perfectly safe.
