Mr. E. J. Day, medical office of health for the borough
who said on Monday March 25th, he went to the Roods-
shed of the G.W. Railway, and ma is enquiries for
some fish there. He was directed to a truck and there
found a quantity of fish in • more or less stinking
c mdition. He took away two of the flab as a samnie.
and obtained authority to detain the whole for farther
examination. On the same evening he again went to
the station with Mr. Foot, and he had the truck un-
loaded, and the contents placed on the pl ttform. There
were also come oranges there. He examined the fish,

F.rneat Richards said the letter pro !lured was written
by him. at Mr. Esple's dictation.—Mr. Weston read
the letter, which wee to this effect :—"I an, to day in-
formal by the manager of the goods department of your
town, that you have condemned a parcel of goods want
to Mr. if. Foot, also of your town, and I can only
imagine you are not sufficiently acquainted with the
nature of dried fish, ag the whole of it was recently
landed and fit for consumption, and such as I have
sent to scores of customers in other towns. As regards
the oranges, I should think you are aware that every
package is more or lees rotten, the rotten ones being,
of c iume, picked out by the dealer and thrown away,
and only the sound one. sold. If you are justified in
the course you have taken, and if sanitary inspectors
of all'other towns were to adopt the same course, every
package of oranges would be condemned, as more or
less rotten, especially at this time of the year. I give
you notice I Shall hold you responsible for any loss
sustained through your interference. Mr. Job
Foot was called, and said he was a general
dealer residing in Dorchester, and had dealt in fish
extensively for the last 28 years. On Friday, the 28th
of last month, he, at Mr. Day's request. accompanied
him to the station. There was • truck there partly
laden with fish. It was Labrador salt fish. Three of
the bundles were placed on the platform. Mr. Day
took a sample. The stench from the fish was so great
that he could not stay in the truck, and he had bees
ill ever since. Mr. Day ordered the fish to be
detained. On the following morning he called on
Mr. Day, and weat to the station. The Mayor also
went to the station. The worst of the fish was
separated, and it weighed about 6 cwt. His opinion
was that the part condemned was decomposed
and entirely unfit for food. The remainder was
tainted by the smell, but wag fit for food if consumed
at once. The condemned fish was buried.—William
Arnold also gave evidence, and testified to the state of
the fish.—Richards, the clerk, stated that the defence
of Mr. Elude was that the fish was not deposited in
the truck for gate, L..r before delivery, and before Mr.
Day hid inimected it. it had been ordered back to
Bristol. Joseph Niattingty proved the re •eipt
of a trilekeam addrease I to M.. Job Foot,
and also the order to return the fish to Bristol 03 the
25th. They had advised their Bristol agent of the
reftria' of the fish on the previous afternoon. Dr Day
examined the fish the same evening, and it was then
in the tuck ready to be sent back to Bristol. Mr.
Day ordered it to be detained, and. but for it, it
would have gone.—Alfred Collier, porter at the goods
st.tion, also gave evidence.—The Bench retired for
delineratien, awl, on their return, the Mayor said they
had very csrefnily considered the matter, and, looking
e the case in all nit bearings, they hid come to the
decision that the rail oray-stotion was not the place for
tendering goods for sale, and therefore the defendant
would hare the benefit (if the doubt. At the sometime
