MORE DESTRUCTIVE FIRES—This Day.

This morning Captain Shaw reported to the
Board of Works nine fires, in addition to the ex-
tensive one at Stone's-end, Borough, as having
occurred in the metropolitan district. One of these
happened on Liddiard's wharf shed, Thames, and
at one time threatened the most disastrous results.
It commenced in the upper floors, used as malt
stores, belonging to Messes. Courage and Co., the
brewers, and a number of wharfingers. In the
course of a few minutes the three malt stores were
well alight and the flames were attacking the roof,
threatening destruction to the brewery adjoining.
The flames could not be extinguished until the malt
stores were for the greater part destroyed and some
damage done to the roof of the adjoining brewery.
The firm was insured in the Phcenix and Guardian
Fire-offices.

A very serious fire broke out in the immense
premises belonging to Metsrs. J. and J. Blott,
manufacturing chemists, in Broomfield - street,
Poplar. It was caused by the vapour of a quan-
tity of oil coming in quantity with the furnace, and
owing to the inflammable nature of the contents
the boiler-house, which was 60 feet long and 30 feet
wile, the whole of the building became one body
of fl-ime. The flames were eventually extinguishe
but not until about two-thirds of the roof was
burned off. The firm was uninsured.

A very destructive fire, and attondel with a great
loss of property, broke out in the extensive whole-
sale and retail clothing establishment belonging to
Mr. C. Wolf, No. 67, Cambridge-road, Mile-end.
The flames commenced, from some unknown cause,
in the front shop, and they rapidly extended up the
stairs to various other apartments, rendering it a
matter of great difficulty for the inmates to escape.
They were, however, all rescued, but nearly suffo-
cated by the heated smoke.
A fire likewise occurred in the cooperage of Mr.
Clark, a brewer, in Little Sutton-street, Goswell-
road. The flames were confined to the destruction
of a quantity of stables in the cooperage, the brew-
house sustaining no damage.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—Chis Day).

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.

This morning Mr. Knight made an application
on behalf of a discharged insolvent, who was for-
merly a diaryman near Be'grave-square, for an
order that the provisional assignee should relin-
quish his claim to the residue of a sum of £215
(after payment of costs), to which the insolvent's wife
had become entitled under the will of her father.
All the debts except one had been paid off ; and the
insolvent, with the consent of his wife, now wished
to have repaid the balance of the legacy, about
£lBO. The Chief Judge thought the case ought to
have come before the Court of Chancery, but con-
sented to make the order after the wife had been
examined as to her concurrence in the application.
