POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSIy oUSE.

Yesterday, the foreman of the inquest of Pot.-
soken ward waited on Mr. Alderman HUGHES, wl:o
sat for the Lord Mayor, for the purpose of corr...
plaining against a man named Abrahams, the keeper
of a fiTh-stall in Arrow-court, Petticoat.,lane, for ex-
posing a quantity of fish for sale which was unlit
for human food.

The foreman of the inquest stated that a greater
mortality had taken place in the neighbourhood cf
Petticoat-lane since the commencement of the pre-
vailing disease than in any other part of the city,
and he attributed it in a great measure to the un-
wholesome naiure (,f the food sold to the inhabi-
tants of that particular place. He then described
that, as he was passing through Arrow-court that
morning, he saw a quantity of cod fish, which ap-
peared 10 be in a putrid state exposed for sale on the
stall of a man named Abrahams, who supplied many
of the poor of that neighbourhood wth the ttriicle
of fish. Upon seeing that the fish was totally uofit
for the food of man, and if eaten in that condition
I,kely to produce illness at this crisis, the foreman
had the whole of it seized, to prevent the conse-
quences that would probably ensue to those who
would have purchased it. The foreman added, that
under these circumstances he deemed it his duty to
seize the fish, in order that it might be destroyed
forthwith.

Mr. Myers, a fishmonger, by whom the fish in
qut stion was examined, stared, that the whole of the
cod were in that unwholesome condition, that the
very smell proceeding from them was sufficient to
engender illness.

Mr.
Alderman HUGHES, in condemning the fish
to be destroyed, severely cen•ured the conduct of
Abrahams in exposing it for sale, and only regretted
that he was not invested with the power of inflict-
ing a summary punishment on him, besides award-
ing the forfeiture of the article. The Alderman,
however, assured the defendaut that if he was
brought there again for a similar offence, he shout,'
be indicted.
