ALLEGED ARSON-SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST
A KUROPEAN IN-CONNECTION WITH
"THE LATE GREAT FIRE.
Edward Fisher, described as a general storekeeper lately carrying on business at | No. 3 Hing Loung Street, was charged on remand with attempting to defraud the Laucasture Insurance Company of the sum of $6,000.

How Aking, a coppersmith, declared: On the evening of the 22nd I saw a large bundle of something taken out by two men, a servant girl and a woman. They called out for a obair, but when the chair came they said they did not want it. The two men carried the bundle towards the Queen's and come white clothing and some stockings Road. The bundle was not properly tied, fell out. I then saw the woman and servant girl stop und pick up the things, and all then went up the Queen's Road. That is all I know. There were few people in the street, and all the shops were closed.
By defendant-I am quite sure it was after 9 o'clock and not 7 o'clock that I saw the bundle carried out, I am quite certain that what I saw fall out was not oranges.

One or the lasycat things a man kan dew in to eat soup with a fork, Make yurgself pecospaty, young inan; and your: sunkróës is certain. One or the longest things a man kan do is to long for perfekt happiness. Pills may sumtimes refute to akt on the liver, but sawing wood never will.
