COURTS OF CONSERVANCY.—On Saturday the
LORD MAYOR held a Court of Conservancy at
the Town-hall, Southwark, when he received
the Report of the Jury appointed to examine the
present state of the river Thames, particularly
with respect to the gas establishments in the
Middlesex district. The report stated, that "the
nuisance from the establishment of the South
London Gas Company still continued. The
jury were so fortunate as to come on the spot at
the precise time that the gas water was running
into the river, which it contaminated to a visible,
extent of at least thirty yards from the stream.
They bottled some of it for experiment, and had
found it poisonous to a most serious degree. The
poor of the neighbourhood made loud complaints
of the nuisance, and stated, that the water was
rendered in general quite unfit fnr culinary pur-
poS'es. Some bottles of the gas water were pro-
duced for the inspection of the Lord Mayor. A
juror stated, that when the jury went below they
procured a quantity of live fish, eels and floun-
ders, which they put in a vessel containing a
quantity of fresh water, and added a portion of
gas Nvater to them. The result was, that all the
eels died in les4 than four minutes and a half :
the flounders died in a minute after they were
put in. Another Court of Conservancy was held
on the same day at the Swan Inn, Westminster-
bridge. The report of this Jury stated, that
numerous witnesses had been examined on the
subject of the gas. Some fishermen who had ob-

tallied their living on the river from infancy, de-
clared that if the practice was not stopped, the
fishing would be ultimately destroyed ; on passing
the gas works they had had the fish in the wells
of their boats destroyed at one time by the gas
water. The report further stated, that the Jury
had caused the bed of the river close by the
Vauxhall-bridge to be dragged, when they found
the rubbish brought up strongly impregnated
with the residuum discharged from the gas works.
The Lord Mayor ordered prosecutions against the
parties offending.
