Although the house is some fifty chains from the sen, as the crow flies, it is surmised that the fish was carried that distance by a gull or other fisheating bird. Mr Carter placed the fish in a tub of water, but it lived only a day. The creature, which is of grotesque appearance, belongs to the species known as bellows fish.

There was tne usual attendance of buyers, and bidding was on the whole, good, though at times erratic; consequently, the prices per IOOIbs. varied more than usual, but the average price would be 30s to 32s for both ox and heifer beef.
