LATE FIRE AT COROMANDEL.

Inquest. An inquest on the fire which commenced in Faulkner's house on Friday, May 2nd, was held in Hallin'a Hotel on Saturday, lOtli inst. Mr. Chas. Gibbs was chosen Foreman. Dr. Hovell was coroner. Mr. Cotter appeared to watch the proceedings on behalf of the Insurance Companies in terested. Elijah James Faulkner, sworn, said : I was sleeping in Barrett's Hotel on the night of the fire and the night previous. I went to bed shortly after 10 o'clock. I slept in a room with Jas. McLean, and was awakened by Barrett calling out fire. I got out into the street as soon as I could, and saw the back of my house was on fire. I dressed myself in the stret. I was lame with gout, and could not assist to save anything. The three houses were nearly down when I reached Hallin's.

By Mr. Cotter : I had been in the house about three years; was to pay Ba. per week; owed about £14 for rent; had sent nearly all the things away the day previous; left the house about 8 o'clock the night before the fire, and locked it up securely ; there are two doors, back and front; the back door was bolted ; lent the key to J. Barrett to fetch out P. Hayes' clothes, who brought out the dog collars; when he came back he said that's a funny lock, but here's the key; lost a number of things by the fire ; they were in Barrett's house; slept the first night by myself, but on the second night I complained of cold ; Mrs. Barrett took the blankets from my first bed and put them on the other; Barrett had trousers and waistcoat on when he called me; was burned out in Canterbury once, but was not insured; could not state the value of the house ; it was reasonably well furnished; Barrett complained of the dull times; from appearances, there did not appear to be much stock ; heard Mrs. Barrett the night before the fire say to her husband, "You had better send a telegram for more beer, for the last barrel is on tap ;" did not know anything about the other stock; Baw several cases crrried out, and some bottles and decanters ; Barrett's bed-room was entirely cleared, also the front parlour; the piano was taken out of the dining-room, also the round table and cheffonier; over ten per sons were assisting to get the things out; had no fire in my house from seven in the morning previous; the fire appeared to commence in the back room ; there was no connection with the chimney; the goods I sent away were worth from £15 to £20; gave the key to Barrett about nine o'clock; he asked me if all the things were out; I said, " Na, Pat Hayes' things are there ; " he said, " I'll fetch them out." J. Barrett, sworn, said : I was in bed on the night of the fire, and was awakened by Mrs. Barrett; she said, "Johnny, what's that?" I saw a glare and said, "Our kitchen's on fire." I ran out and saw through the window ; it was in Faulkner's ; the roof was burning; I called out " Fire !" Faulkner asked where? I said, "Your house." I ran up and down the street calling " Fire !" I smashed the window to get my things out; was very much con fused, and only saved a few bottles and a bush curio ; tried to save my dog from the kitchen, but was too late. By Mr. Cotter: Have been in the house about five years ; the house was insured by my wife ; the property cost about £300 ; I refused £500 for it from Lionel Phillips ; the house was in good repair, but I was renovating it for police inspection ; it Jwas ■built about 13 years ago ; it would cost about .€450 or £500 to-rebuild ; I was doing a business from £"2 ss. to £2 10s. a day ; 1 think more than half my sales was beer; at the time of fire there were there or four 36 gallon barrels in the cellar; we used about one a week ; I always kept several on hand ; I don't remember my wife saying the last ban-el was on tap; will swear she did not; remember the sergeant coming for rum; I \ven£ to a cask and told him there was none in it; I knew there was plenty in another cask but it was not reduced, and I was not going to give him 30 o.p. ; Faulkner asked me to go and bring out Pat Hayes' things ; I brought a bootbox, three carpet bags, anda sack ; I did not look in the back room when I went for the things ; a fire occurred once in the Digger's Rest; my wife and the servant were moving gome.bottles, and it is supposed a fire was left; it broke out, but was soon put out with a little water ; I was in Auck land at the time trying to arrafogo a difficulty, but could not, and sent my wife word to do the best she could; my cash box and books were saved.

Eleanor Eliza Barrett, sworn, said ; I am the wife of last witness; I was siok on the night of the fire, and got up for some chlorodine; fell asleep, but woke again hearing a crackling noise like whips ; asked my husband what was that ; he looked towards the window and said, " My God ! the kitchen's on fire." He rushed out calling " Fire 1" I went into the diningroom and saw flames coming through Faulkner's house; I ran down to Jones's and called them. ....

By Mr. Cotter: We all went to bed about the same time ; Barrett did not put on his clothes until after he called Faulkner; I asked McLean to get the piano out; Messrs Swindley, Jones, and P. Barrett got out most of the things; on night of the. fire Faulkner saidjhe was cold, and asked for more blankets ; I took some from one bed and put them on his i the property was in our joint names; I asked Mr. Barrett eeveral times-to insure, but he refused to j I got Jt done myself; some time ago we had an offer of £500 for the property, but wanted £700 ; I usually order all the goods; there were three barrels full of beer and one on tap; we got six barrels from Suiter; don't remember any conversation with my husband about the beer; I swear I never, told him the last barrel was on tap; there was a tire in the cupboard of the Dig^ey's Best the night before the sale, but ft W.upl^ of buckets of water put it out} PW average takings would bp a,bout £J8 per we.eft j about half wft.s prefix. By Sergeant lUst: Jka\t remember your being in the house and asking (or rum, nor my husband saying to me "You must.order more rum."

A. R. Swindley, sworn, said : I heard a cry of fire and got up and came to render assistance.

By Mr. Cotter: When I first arrived only Faulkner's house was on fire ; we cleared, most of the things from the room, furthest from the fire, then went into the bat and. storeroom, and passed. o,u.t nearly all the cases I could see j there were not a large number of cases that I could see; they might have been stacked there, but I did not notice them.

Mrs Midwinter, sworn, said she assisted to removo several cases; there seemed to be hardly anything in the bar; the shelve* were bare; saw some jars in the streat-.

Charles Grant, sworn, said : When I got to the fire it was commencing through Faulkner's roof; I went into Barrett's and assisted to carry things out of room next to the fire ; after clearing that room went to the bar; there woro some bottles left, but the most of them were taken away ; it was the dining-room I assisted to empty. James McLean gave corioborativo testi mony.

Mr.-J 1, Woollams was next examined as to the value of the houses destroyed. Sergeant Rist, sworn, said: On the evening before the fire I went to the back of Faulkner's houso for aonie fowl roosts which I had bought from him, and I noticed the back door open; I put my head in and asked, '' Are you there, Faulkner ?" I got no answer, so closed the door and went away; I saw no light or anything suspicious; this was about ten, mjntfifefi'to. eleven; Barrett's was all c^ark then; X remarked to the cpflsta^e' o,uteid,ei thttf Faulkner's dpp.r was open; w«s awakened in the morning by cries' p| " F4ro! v When I got to Faulkner's place it was down, and Barrett's nearly so; on Wednesday evening befoio the fire I went to Barrett's for two glasses of rum forray wife, .who was ill with neuralgia; told Barrett wtiat it was for; he went to a cask and rolled it to and. fro and said it was empty; he said. "• I was going to give you some 30 0.p,, but will give you some of this," taking a decanter from the shelf; his wife walked forward and said, ". What's that?" He said, "We want some more rum, for the cask is empty." The house was fairly furnished, but it would not hold much j there was one conviction on his license; did not notice anything like a large quantity of spirits being burnt; I havo looked at the site since, and am positive there was nothing to show remains of 300 or 400 bottles; am confident they were not there.

HJ. D. Colebrook, examined, said: The house was insured in Mrs. Barrett's name; was led to suppose the freehold was her's; havg oxamined the site since, an.d can see no remains to account for 300 or 400 bottles.

Mr. Cotter then addressed the jury, dwelling strongly on the fact that the fire must have been the act of some person. He also dwelt strongly on the claim for insurance, and the doubt of tho amount of goods being in the house, Tho jury, after a short deliberation, brought in the following verdict; "After carefully weighing the evidence, we are unanimously of opinion that the fire which caused the destruction of Barrett's Hotel Faulkner's house, and the house adjbihingj was caused by the wilful act of some person or persons unknown." i
