POLICE ELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HO USE.

THE FISII MARKET PROCEEDINGS.—MT. Martin,
of the firm of Alderman Brown and Martin, solicitors,
having attended the Justice-room, at the request of
the Lord Mayor, before whom, it will be recollected,
the fish salesmen of Billingsgate Market were convicted
of having sold more soles in a lot than the Act of Par-
liament allowed.

The Loll) 111Avoit stated to Mr. Martin that he
had received a memorial, signed by nearly seventy fish-
mongers and dealers in fish, from Westminster, Chelsea,
Norwood, Deptford, Peckham, Marylebone, Brentford,
Camberwell, Bloomsbury, Lambeth, Bermondsey,
Walworth, Kennington, Greenwich, &c. &c., complain-
ing that in consequence of the present illegal mode of
selling fish in Billingsgate Market the public were
charged from ten to twenty per cent. more than they
ought to be charged ; that the small fishmongers sus-
tained serious injury, and that the fresh fish was not
sorted and sold in lots by some of the fish sales-
men, as required by the Act. The memorial
set forth that the complaint of those who signed
it referred principally to salmon and soles, and prayed
that the provisions of the Act which was passed for the
better supplying the cities of London and Westminster
with fish, and for the reduction of the exorbitant prices
thereof, and the protection and encouragement of the
fishermen, should be strictly enforced.
Crawley and his brother, the fish hawkers, who ap-
peared against the salesmen, and urged the Lord Mayor
to inflict the penalty, declared that all the small dealers,
any
blame n were not chargeable
who laboured hard for the support of their families, felt
with
in the strongest manner the necessity for the inter-
ference of the authorities with the existing practice, and
stated that t greatheon the fieseherigerson. The salesmen inflicted
the injury by selling to the regrators, through whom
the fish passed to the fishmongers, and from them and
the hawkers to the public.
The LORD MAYOR said that when he last saw Mr.
Martin, he had given that gentleman to understand
that he should issue no more summonses against
the fish salesmen, until
a superior Court should
have decided what was the intention of the Legislature
with regard to the penalty clause. He found that by
so doing he should give an impunity to the salesmen of
much longer duration than the ends of justice required,
and that he could by another course enforce obedience
to the law in a much shorter time than it would take to
procure the decision of a jury and the subsequent argu-
ments of Counsel, which would probably arise before the
Judges. His attention bad also been drawn to resolu-
tions passed at a meeting composed of the persons com-
plained against by the hawkers, for evading the Act of
Parliament, and evidently intended to prejudice the case.
Mr. Martin said that he considered, from what his
Lordship said, that the penalty of 201. was not to be
enforced against Mr. Curling, the salesman,
