ENQUIRY INTO THE LATE FIRE.

The ' Court of Enquiry into the cause of the late fire was resumed this afternoon at.two o'clock, at thf Greyhound Hotel, before T. M. Phil«on, Esq., M.D., coroner, and a select jury. "''.- Elizabeth Ann Farcy, was called, and on being sworn deposed that her husband, "William Farcy, had been a grocer, occupying the house which stood <ih the north side of Mr Powley's shop, separated by a passage. She remembered Saturday, the 6th instant, when she went towards, the kitchen to get a candle,... On going in'her attention was attracted by a red glare on Powley's boards, opposite to her sitting-room. She then ob served the* boards of Powley's house on fire. There had been a fire in her kitchen stove in the evening. .-,'■■.. . To Mr Beveridge.: She was quite sure that no sparks could have passed from her kitchen to Powley's place. , To Mr Hughes': She went into the kitchen in the evening* but could not say the hour. She gave the alarm immediately upon seeing the fire. There, was a stove-pipe in her kitchen, which went up three or four feet beyond the shingles. The fire was far below the pipe; ' •To Mr Beverage.: She was quite sure that no spark from-her stove could have gone to Powley's house. There was no fire at that time of night, and the wind was blowing in an opposite direction. William Parey; husband of'the last wit ness, deposed that at a quarter to twelve his attention was called to the back part of the J*spiises by.hig.wife, when upon going thither M& saw the flames issuing from Powley?s • house, opposite the back window,.. It was on a level-with the' isittijag-roOi-i. He was not insured,' ' There was V very 'strong win<|

blowing at the time. ./The fire which had been kindled in his store in the early part of the evening had long gone out. A strong body of fire was issuing from Mr Powley's room. No spark could have passed from his stove, -as the fire had gone out six hours previously. " To Mr Beveridge : The fire seemed to come from below Powley's stairs. To Mr Hughes : He had never observed that Powley's weatherboards were loose. He owed about £400 when he went into the shop. •

Mr Shove, a juryman, considered this was not a fair question, as witness was not in sured. :

Examination continued : He nut extra pip ing on as the stove did not draw well. Some one had made a complaint, about the smoke. He did not wait to count how many weatherboards there were on fire. He had four or five young children sleeping upstairs, and his first thought was of them. He tried to put out the fire with some buckets of water, but finding that he could not do it he rushed into the street and cried " Fire '." ■

Samuel Seymour deposed that he was carrying on business in Queen-street' as a fruiterer at,the time of the fire. His shop, was next to that of Mr Farcy. He heard the cry of fire, and immediately went to the spot, and saw the fire coming from Powley's premises. He pushed upon Powley's door, which opened with a very little trouble, and on going in he found the rooms full of smoke, the flames burst forth in a volume from what appeared to : be a closet. The heat was in tense. He had no experience of fire. The fire had evidently commenced inside the room, as the hoards were all charred through. Neither could the five have originated in the kitchen. He was the first person J who entered the premises. To Mr Hughes : He should think the fire might have been smouldering twenty minutes or half-an-hour in the close room. His opinion was that it could not have been caused by a spark from Mr Farcy's chimney. The wind was in a contrary direction. He brought out the smell of fire and smoke with him but no property, as he could not see any. It was rather dark at the time, and when he found he. could not put out the fire he hurried to save his own good 3.

PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE.

.*'._. i -' Ti_jk re-production of ** Hamlet" ast. niglit, with Mr Fairclough as the Prince of Den mark, brought another large audience to the house. The performance, from an artistic point of view, was more complete than on Monday. The minor characters were played wi^h more ease, arid consequently with greater effect. The more we see of Mr Fair clough's acting the better we like it. There is an intelligence pervading it that strikes one the result of a careful weighiag of the importance of each word—and words in Shakespeare arepregnantwithas much signifir carlce as sentences' in most dramatists. His rendering of the soliloquy sitting is an innovation which. ia we think scarcely an improvement, but the delivery itself is fault iest. Another part in which Mr Fairclough makes a good point occurs after the play scene, when he uses the parallel of the pipe to Shew -Rosencrantz and Guildenstern how unworthily they are attempting to play upon him, and again immediately afterwards in the. dialogue with Poloriius about the cloud. The conference with Ophelia is one of the most complicated emotional* passages of thei play. Mr Fairclough shews in his version of it that variety of purpose and in congruity of taotive which the text and character suggest. There is perhaps a roughness about the concluding part of the scene where Hamlet te? Is Ophelia to "Go to a nunnery" which is a tiifle too strongly ex pressed. With regard to the other charac ters Polonius was decidedly second best. The talkative old man, "Laudator tem pons acti se puero" as Horace terms him, was finely depleted by Mr McQowan. It should be allowed however in justice to the other performers that the charac ter lis nearly sure to give satisfaction owing to its containing nearly the whole of the fun of the play. Mr.Colliers Laertes was a very commendable performance. The part contains the portrait of a noble disposition warped at last by fancied wrong. Mr t Collier 'gave the ' character 'its proper prominence, and brought out its salient points effectively. As Ophelia, Mrs Walter Hill was very good. This is another instance of the evenness with which this versatileactress play a every kind of character. In her sanity she was simple and engaging, arid in her madness real and affecting. The King, by Mr Clinton, was painted somewhat too brusquely, and there was a lack of1 dignity ; the p_tngs of conscience stirred in the play scene were, however, well expressed. To Miss L. Bushe great praise is due for her very painstaking study of the Queen. The part is scarcely suited to this lady,, and the make.up was very poor, yet still the repre sentation was characterised by. a certain amount of merit. Thb Other dramatis personce were undertaken perhaps as, effec 7 tively as we* ed-lld expect. To-night "Riche lieu.- will be given, and we shall see Mr. Fairclough depict the unscrupulous politician —a very different character to that of the mysterious Dane.

Elizabeth .Lynch, ah old offender, waS Msb J .fined 20s and costs for the same offence. THE INDUSTRIAL HOME. Mr Tole appeared in Court this morning, accompanied by Rev Father Lilworth, for the purpose, of renewing an application for the removal of certain children from the Industrial Home to the Convent, in'oMer that they might be brought up exclusively in the faith of the Church of Rome: • Captain Laldy and Mr Kattray appeared to watch the proceedings on the part of the school.

: His Worship remarked that he, as a magis trate, was placed in a very awkward posi tion, and he felt that/he could not .jmdertajce "'td'ofrder the 'transfer of children without the express consent ,of thei^ parents.; i .If.the, parents sanction' th6ir' removal he should be wosthappytoexerciflehispo^erai^tji^ittattor.

He had thought that there was some motive power with the parents in connection with .the present application. The question was, who has the greater control over the child ren, the parents or the minister ? He must acknowledge that these matters had given him a great amount of uneasiness from a fear of doing wrong. Mr Tole s"id that certain exigencies had arisen in connection with the Industrial School in consequence of mixed denomina tions. The desire on the part of Roman Catholics was that thg children of Roman Catholic parents shoum be removed to St. Mary's Orphanage, where their minds would not be imbued with other religious ideas. It had been thought advisable to keep Catholic children apart from children of other denomi nations, and placed under the immediate care and training of those of the Roman Catholic faith who devote their lives to the religious training of the children. He might say further that the children would be much better looked after by Sisters of Mercy, if not. in ordinary circumstances in respect of creed. The mother of the child Knox was a strict Catholic.

His Worship said that the religion of chil dren -was not neglected whatever its com plexion, but a child entirely severed from associates of other denominations, confined ex clusively to one creed, might become narrow minded, but on the other hand, from liberal associations the mind would naturally expand and become enlightened. Mr Tole thought such association would j hay a very different effect. He then j charged the master of the school with an at- j tenipt to intimidate him in making this - application ; he told him yesterday that he would state to the Court that Father Dil worth had used undue influence in entreating : and intimidating one of the children. He had therefore, invited the rev. gentleman by his side, for the purpose of refuting the charge. His Worship thought that was creating a new difficulty. Such a course was un necessary.

Mr Tole had appeared by the request of His Worship ; and his chief object was not so much the removal of a child as the vindication of a great principle. He hoped his Worsbip would not be guided by the opinions of the master of the Industrial School.

, His Worship : Certainly not. I shall be guided by my own judgment.

Mr Tole contended that the children would be placed *"n such a superior position in the Orphanage.

His Worship remarked that it was unfor tunate that so many Catholic children were utterly neglected, unable to say the Lord's prayer, ahd frequently picked up by the police destitute and neglected.

Mr Tole replied that the police were too vigilant in looking after them. His Worship said he could only reiterate what he had previously stated, that he was b<_und to act in accordance with the wishes of parents. He would not interfere with the religious training of the children, but he must hesitate before ordering the removal of a child from one institute to another, and especially in the case of the child Knox, where the stepfather positively objects. He could hot therefore order the removal of the child.

Captain Daldy stated that the managers of the Industrial School were iv no way iden tified with these religious questions. They were quite independent of particular creeds. It was an institute for destitute children, and its doors Were open to neglected children of all denominations, and he _.6ped thata wrong impression would not go forth to the public His Worship hoped that it would ever remain so, for it was a most excellent institution.
