Malllelolf-HOU9It,
Testeirday the proprietor of • nail, calkd **Geyer,
attested before the Lord Mayor, to prefer a complaint moiler
Ire following circumstances, agaiust the oaken whet se-
'perinteurl Billingsgate-duck:
It appeared (rum the statement of the parties that the
'complainants were aalt.rnterbasts. Pelt vessels have been
accustomed for Essay year% to land salt et It illingsgme dock.
Of late desperate emsteets have arisen among the captains of
the Mating boats sad the captains of the salt vessels fur the
prouttlence is landing their goods, or rather fur the right of
lying io the dock at all. Prom the 'mantles* of the duck,
and the increase of 11w number of fishing boats, the compe-
tition had become roust desperate, sad the fishermen front their
number mid activity were in general victorious They kept
the dock almost constantly filled, to the exclusion orate salt
Tempel*, which were obliged to land their cargoes at the neigh-
bor/log wharves, much to their ioconvenieuce and at a great
expense. The proprietors of the Vessels in question appeal.
ed 10 tier Lord Mayor for hi, protection against this system.
They did wit lay claim Irs the privilege as a presetiptive
right only, bat as a privilege gestated i.e far back as the reign
of Elizabeth ; and they hoped his Lordship would order ihe
uffleers to enforce their right of nilmlision. it was corn.
plaited that whets the Captain of the George. endeavoured to
gain admission, the master of the boats cut his ropes and set
hist adrift twice. The vessel was once is great danger, and
lied been obliged to lay out in the stream fur four days, and
during every tirte new fishing boats came in and kept the
duck filled up. The Complainants were thus kept constantly
at the expense of demurrage, and ultimately obliged to laud

the ~►toes al whaever.

The Lord Mayor said his was eertaialy a case of difficul-
ty, as the Sshiug•boats bad an equal right to laud their car-
'flee; and when they were in the docks it did not appear that
they were oliliged to leave it to make way for the silt ves-
sels until llwy should •teliver their cargoes.
The proprietors said, that unless IMMe effective reple-
tion,' al to the turn were put in force, the right of the strong-
est would be the only one recognized.
The officer who has the superintendence of the dock said,
that was the only law recognised at Billingsgate, whra they
had cot hesitated to pull up piles, driven by the order of the
Corporation for the regulation of the minket, molten as they
were put down, merely because they ioterfesed with the con-
venioure of the fistiernseu.
The Lord Mayor requested to see the Art on which the
complabsauta founded their right. They were not prepared
with it ; and after some farther discussion, it was agreed to
adjourn the• case to another day, when his Lordship would
lay down sonic regulation on the subject.
