MOUNT ROSKILL FIRE INQUEST.

The inquiry held yesterday with reference to the destruction by fire of Mr Reynell' i • s shop and dwelling house, Mount; Roskill lasted until 6.30 p.m. The evidence given in addition to that published last evening was as follows :— James Shirley, traveller for Messrs L. D; Nathan and & Co,, estimated the value o* ReyneU's stock at between £150 and £200. He did not think there was any dummy stock. J J Edward Reynell stated thab when he escaped from bhe house the whole ceiling appeared to be in flames. Louisa Armstrong stated that she was roused by the fire next door and knocked at ReyneU's door. Sho heard some people talking inside, but got no answer. Evidence was also given by Mrs Arm- Strong, J. H. Schwabe, agent for the Norwich Insurance, and Constable Dewes. Mr E. Hesketh took exception to the selection of witnesses by the police, who had failed to bring forward Mrs Reynell, a most important witness. Mrßaddeley agreed that these inquiries should be entirely disinterested, but thought that in this case no partiality had been shown. The jury, after a brief consultation, returned a verdict that the fire was acci dentally caused by a defective chimney.
