They therefore observe, that it cannot offer any certain accommodation for the sale of the additional quantity offish which might be obtained from the Sussex coast. The establishment of another fish market, however, might cost Government another seven or eight hundred pounds, or at least a little trouble and opposition, from interested people, and therefore, although it is a doubt if it wouW be any expence, but be a benefit and profit to the undertakers, yet this great object, as well as the Holy Haven road, may not, on account of interested interposition, or necessary trouble, be in our time accomplished. The Brighton fish- ermen in their representation state, that if a place of sale could be obtai'^.ed near Westmin- ster bridge, a daily supply of fish might be sent there, to a very large amount, so as to reach the place of sale at five o'clock every morning, and to afford a very great relief to that part of the metropolis. These gentlemen have con- cluded their representation by requesting, th^t it may be ascertained how far these two obstacles may be removed; undertaking that, if it can be done, they will use their best endeavours that a large supply of fish may be daily and regularly sent to the metropolis. Still no proper answer is given, nor any thing done to carry their object.
