Te that LX V, d ild n 0t ' On that occasion, The claL ? t • k WaS °a the P^mises as £480 if SV a re Presf nte<i Kemsley's loss as ±480 is 8d on crockery and glassware The ongmal claim was £520 Is Id, iTufc a deduction of £40, for salvage according to agreement reduced it to £480 Is gd g Inrnpal ei r THenry Armstr °^> agent for the H-, Ins. urf cc Company, deposed that SSi y« ? 7 as ill3Ured in the Im penal office for the sum of £200, and the buildings, viz., house and cottage, for £?00 Ihese insurances were effected on the 10th of August of the present year. Proof of loss had been sent in by Kemsley, but had not been paid. They were to allow him £40 for salvage which Kemsley took. There was nothing said about cases being stored at Mr Woodward's store.

To Mr Meyer : He received proofs of both loases at one time, on the 28th October. He inspected the stock previous to taking the insurance. He then informed witness that he had insured in the Victoria. As regards the value of the stock ho was guided by Kemsley's invoices, which showed that the goods were worth £500. The shop appeared to be well filled; the crockery was spread all over the place. James Ballantyne Graham, solicitor, and agent for the Norwich Union Insurance Society, deposed that at the time of the fire Kemsley was insured in the office for £100. The insurance was effected in the ?arly part. of June of the present year. A claim was sent m, but which had not been paid. To Mr Hesketh : He did not insure on the stock. He should think the buildings might be rebuilt in wood for £450. Kemsley had a long lease of the premises, and paid 30s per week for rent, which he considered reason able. It was a low rent.

James Wrigley, architect and surveyor, deposed that he had made a plan of the pro perty which fairly represented it. He described plan (produced). William Avery was sworn, and deposed that he | was now residing at the Thames ; but before giving evidence, he would like to know if he was to receive any of his ex penses. He came previously at the coroner's inquiry, and lost hia situation in consequence. He had now come from the Thames a second time, at considerable Joss. His Worship promised to do what be could in the matter ; ifc was a hard case, but he would have the satisfaction of feeling that he had done his duty to the public. Mr Avery was always glad to do that, but it did not pay. His Worship said he thought there would be little difficulty in his getting his expenses.

Witness then proceeded to say that he occupied the cottage on the premises at the time of the fire, and on the night of the 21st he left home about five o'clock, leaving his mother and sister and Mrs. Stringenn. he house. He returned about a quarter past eleven, and went to bed. There wa3 no fire in the cottage, nor any appearance of any in Kc-msley'a premises at that time. The room he slept in adjoined prisoner's i yard, which was roofed over from the gateway in Rutland - street. He fell asleep at once, and about half-past three he was awakened by a noise as of a fire. He jEfinped out of bad and opened the door to see what was the matter; he saw the reflection of a fire on the side of the house next to Kemsley's. He then jumped intu his trousers and ran to the firebell. The fire was issuing from Kemsley's shed through the roof, about five yards from hia chimney, his cottage had'not then caught fire, nor was it on fire when he returned from the iirebell. He saved a few of his things. He wa3 quite sure that the fire originated in prisoner's shed.

To Mr Meyer : At the time of the breaking out of the fire there was no person near the spot. As far as he could see, it broke out in the roof of the shed. His cot tage was not a noble structure, but about the same height as Kemsley's shed. He could not say whether or not palings were broken down to make a near cut to the public-house on Sundays. He did not know. He did not think that any of the inmates of his cottage had passed through the yard, but he believed they were all sober. He never heard any person say that the fire occurred in his house.

Witness continued that Kemsley said he had been clearing up from the back shed and found a lob of straw nibbled by the rats, and among it some matches. He then left and left his horse and cart there. Kemsley was then putting up his shutters. He wag awoke up in the morning by.the ringing of the fire bell. He got up and went to Kemsley's. Richard Tier r.ey, cons table in the Armed Constabulary, deposed: I was alarmed by seeing the reflection of a fire at 3.30 a.m , on the 22nd October. The fire was right in the rear of Kemsley's. china shop. I saw from Rutland - street that the fire originated in the shed at the rear of Kemsley's shop. There was an open space next the gate, the remainder of the back was roofed over to make a shed. Avery's house was not at that time on fire. Kemsley's gate in Rutland-street was then shut and locked. At that time it was not possible to save anything from the rear of the premises. Cross-examined : After trying tne gate 1 fihen rang the firebell. I believe I was the iirst to ring the^ firebell, bufc it mieht have been rung while I was lower down Queen street. When I got to the gate I saw no one there, but I think I saw a man throwing gome clothes out of the cottage. I did not see the inmates come out. Charles O'Reilly, member A.C., deposed that he ran to the fire and broke open the shop door. It was impossible at that time to save beddine; or furniture Cross examined by Mr Meyer : I was about the foot of Durham-street when . i heard the alarm of fire by the ringing of the bell at the junction of Queen and Wakefield streets. I ran as fast as I could upon hear ing the fire-bell; the cottage was then on rj'ohn Smith, carter, residing in Elliott street, deposed that he had known Kemsley for a longtime. On the 21st October, heteb his express cart to prisoner to go He took them to his shop at half-past se*en on the evening of the 21st. He noticeda basket packed up in the shop, similar to tne one now in court. / n,™ (Mr Hesketh said there was a™^ basket in the possession of the police, and it should have been produced).

THE SUNDAY-SCHOOL EXHIBITION.

The industrial exhibition in connection with the feunday - school Union was attended yesterday by nearly SOO persons, who inspected the numerous and varied offerings of industrial skill produced by thousands of Jittle hands with feelings of appreciation and delight. Beyond the children's exhibits, numbers of interesting articles were handed m by tradesmen and others in order that every spare place may be filled to the utmost satisfaction. We noticed particularly to the right of the principal entrance to the hall that Mr. Martin, of Grafton Road School had brought his valuable collection of geo logical cuiiosities exhibited at his late scientific lectures, including chemicals, gum, fossils, and minerals. Mr. Cranwdl also had furnished gome handsome articles of furni ture, and not the least of the attractions of the exhibition wa<3 the Union library con. sisting of many hundred volumes of'moral and religious work?, selected with much judgment by the Union committee. In the evening, the visitors were treated to a concert in the side-room by the Tonic Sol-Fa class, under Mr Charles Bloomfisld, which was veiy successful, including "Home of my Youth," "Our own sweet thoughts," " Sports of Childhood," and similar sentimental ballads and pieces. Miss FroudeJ recited with much pathos Eliza Cook's, "The old Man to his young Wife." The exhibition was re-openod this afternoon at two o'clock. In our notice yesterday, the word "judges" was erroneously substituted for " committee."

DISGRACEFUL ROW IN GRAHAM STREET.

A report was brought into town to day, that a child had been killed during the quarrellings of the parent?, named Oonway, who occupy a small cottage three _ doors down Graham-street, on the right-hand side. Upon investigation late this afceiijonly the police it was found that the cottage is the scene of continual rioting, and it was di rlnj; one of these rows this morning that, according to the report, the woman had thrown one of her children at her husband. The woman is mother of two delicate little in'aits, the Jiving ones remaining from a biith of three ; they are about six mouths old. The one which it is alleged was thrown is particularly a poor weakly thing. Ihe parents were all cut about the face, and there were evident signs of quarrelling and wretchedness about. It was admiited that they had been fighting during today as usual, and that oue of the neigh bours came in and took the infant out, but that the infant had beeu thrown was denied, and this statement was corroborated by the neighbour who came in during the scene. Although iv a very low condition the infant shewed no marks or cuts ; there was, there fore, no positive testimony to the commias sion of the crime. Such steps have, however, been taken by the police as will terminate the disgraceful scenes constantly occuiing in this locality, an announcement which will, we ire sure, be satisfactory to the whole of the respectable neighbours.

THE HYDASPES.

The Health Officer and tb.B Immigration Commissioner visted the ship Hydaspes, and the Quarantine Station, at Motuihi, yester day. Accordiag to the report brought back by these officers, the ship will not be ad mitted to pratique as early as was expected. Dr Philson reports that the work of cleansing the 'tween decks is not yet properly carried out. Other processes prescribed by the regulations seem to have been overlooked. Under the cirsumstancea he doe 3 Dot feel justified in recommending the Board of Health to order her release from quarantine at present. On the island everything is going on satisfactorily. The convalescents are progressing towards complete recovery, and there is no fresh appearance of disease. The personal effects of the passengers are all being thoroughly aired and disinfected. Another official visit to the station will be paid, we understand, to-morrow, when a further report will be made. Under any circumstances, it is not likely that the ship will be released' before the end of the week, or the passengers for another five or six days.
