MANSION-VOUSE.—An information was laid
against a Mr. Fenn, a fish-salesman at Billingsgate,
for having, in July last; exposed to sale a quantity
of eels in Billingsgate market, without having put
Up a board signifying the quantity and kind of fish
to be sold, as is required by the At of the 6th of
His. present Majesty. The charge was brought
forward by a common informer named Butterfield,
who produced a young man named A,cber, as his
witness. This person proved the fad of the fish
having been exposed to sale without the board: he
said, he saw Fenn purchase the eels from a Dutch.
man, and then put them into. a basket, ,wkre some
of them were sold.

The Counsel for Mr. Fenn objeled to the in-
formation on several grounds ; first, he observed,
that Billingsgate, the place where the offence was
alledged to have been committed, was 'not proved
by evidence to-be within the City of London, as
was stated 'in the information. While he was
arguing- this point, the LORD MAYO 2 interrupted
him, by observing—" I know, Sir, where Billings_
gad. is ,very well, and.so does evvy body who
ilekrs me ; and wi 1 any-many attempt to . persuade
me that Billingsgate is not within the City of Lon-
don, and within my jurisdietion Do you prove,
if you-can, that it is not."
The Counsel next adverted to the charaCter of
the witness, Archer, Ahom he did not think was
worthy to be believed.
• _The LORD MAYOR---", 1 do not see any thing
in the account that man has given of himself,
which can render him unworthy of credit. All
that can be said of him is, that he is a common.
informer. I think informers are very useful people,
beciuse without them the most necessary and bene-
ficial Laws could not be.carried into effea."

Mr. Fenn was then fined 51. the penalty pre-
scribed by the statute—There were fourteen other
informations against him for similar offences.
