FIRES LAST NIGHT

At about a quarter past seven o'clock last night, a fire
was discovered to have broken out on the premises of Mr.
John Hope, tailor and draper, Copperas-hill. Inspector
Boyd, with officer 228, was speedily on the spot ; and an
abundant supply of water being obtained in buckets from
the cisterns of the Adelphi Hotel, it was not found neces-
sary to pass the word to the Water Company. The fire
was speedily extinguished, and the damage was estimated
at from £4O to £5O. _ _
