A fire broke out at Boyle Farm, Sir Edward Sugdenes residence in
Surry, near Thames Ditton, early on Sunday morning. The conser- vatory of valuable plants, come furniture, and a valuable collection of paintings in the drawing-room, were destroyed before the flames were extinguished. The fire originated in an over-heated flue of the con- servatory.
