All the fish —between 100 and 200—in the main fountain pond in the Queen’s Gardens, Nelson, were found lying on the top of the water dead the other morning (says the Mail). At 8 o’clock the night before they were all right, and it is considered that during the night poison in some form or other was thrown into the pool. A number of napthaJene halls were found in the pool and it is thought this caused the damage. Whether the action was deliberate or done through thoughtlessness, has got yet been ascertained; but the matter has been placed in the hands of the police. The fish in the fountain pond near the Hardy street entrance wejre not affected; nor have any dead fish' been seen in the main pond. Progs in the pond where the dead fish were found were not affected.
