LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, June 11.
SANDILANDS V. LEGATT.

This was a rule obtained by Sir Fitzroy Kelly to
show cause why a writ of habeas corpus should not iss no
against Horatio Bethune Legatt, directing him to bri og
up the body of Anna Maria Sandilands, the wife of Jo an
Sandilands.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL now showed cause again tat
the rule. As he was extremely anxious to avoid enter-
ing into the very painful oireumstances detailed in the
affidavits, he submitted to the Court at the outset
a priliminary objection, which he said he was satisfied
would convince them that no writ could be issued in .tkis
case against his client. The affidavits showed that so
far from Mrs. Sandilands being detained by her son
against her own consent, she wished to remain under
hiaroof, and objected to return to her husband, whom
she had left in consequence of circumstances that took
place in his house, whioh rendered it impossible for her to
continue to live with him. These facts, he contended, jus-
tified the Court in at once discharging the rule, a habeas
corpus being of no avail to the husband to obtain the
return of his wife, as it was entirely with her own in-
clination that she remained apart from him.
Sir F. KELLY sapported the rule, and argued that the
Court could grant a habeas for the purpose of ascertaic,-
ing the truth of the statement as to the lady residing •Of
her own free will with her son.
Lord CAXPEELL thought the rule for a habeas corpus
ought not to have been granted, as the Court had rio
jurisdiction in such a case. All the Court could do
to restore to liberty any of the Queen's subjects who
were improperly confined or imprisoned; brit it appear' 3d
that this lady was not under any restraint, but ve es
living in her son's house with her own free conseaa
and whether the husband had a right and er
these circumstances to recover possession of her said
compel her to live with him, was a matter
which the Court had no power to determine. If the writ
went, and the lady was
produced, the Court could x lot
compelling make an order
her to live with her husbea id.
The constitution had
Pwngisely pointed oat the tribue ial
where such a matter could be heard and decided; and. if
she had no good cause for being absent from her h: as-
band, and the Court offered no opinion on that point, a
decree of the ecclesiastical court could compel her to
return to him, but a habeas corpus would be wh.)lly
nugatory in such a case. The rule would therefore be
discharged.--Discharged accordingly.

CRYSTAL PALACE SEA-BATHING.
A design is now lying before the directors of the
Crystal Palace Company for laying down incorrod able
pipe! from the sea at Brighton, for the purpose of cella-
veying pure sea water along the slopes of that railway
to a large reservoir at Sydenham, where capaci us
plunging and swimming baths will be established, in
connexion with the Crystal Palace, affording to the la-
dies, gentlemen, tradesnaen, and invalids of all clas sos,
residing in London, and its environs, the means of ob-
taining, at a eheap rate, the salubrious recreation of sea-
bathing, without entailing upon them the expense, or
the loss of time of retiring to the sea coast.
Numerous, indeed, we may imagine, would be the at-
tendance upon such an establishment, united as it will
be with our popular Crystal Palace; persons who hay e
now no alternative but fresh water bathing, which is
universally acknowledged to be vastly inferior to that .of
sea water, would eagerly seize upon the opportunity .of
a short, pleasant ride by railway from London, to obtadn
at a choap rate a luxury hitherto only placed within the
reach of the more opulent portion of the community.
And by a simple extension of the plan, the water,
once at the Sydenham reservoir, could be disteibut,3d
throughout the principal residences, palaces, hospital*
hotels, and public baths of our great metropolis, al id
employed not alone for the sanitary purposes of bathing,
but also for supplying the ornamental waters of the
Crystal Palace, which, by the acquisition of sea water,
will surpass the hitherto unequalled jets d'eau of Ver-
sailles or the noble cascades of St. Cloud.
It has been ascertained from careful calculation by
the projector, Thomas Wright, C.E., that the metropolis
could be supplied at the rare of 3d. per 100 gallons, or
one good bath fur a penny.
It is a reniarkablo fist that notwithstanding our
wealth, our boasted cicilizatica, ant mechanical skill,
we fall infinitely short of the Greeks and Romans of
ancient, and of most European countries of modern
times, with respect to our national baths; but on the in-
troduetion of the isia7ine water supply the greatest
achievement in hydraulics ever yet attempted will be
accomplished, and one well worthy the age we live in
and the justly celebrated mechanical and scientific pre-
eminence of the British nation.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, June 11.)
Smarts-To-day there was a reluctance to operate
in West India Sugar for home consumption, yet holders
remained firm, and obtained full rates. strchases are
400 hhds, making for the week 2,126 hogsheads and
tierces. There were many buyers to-day at a small re-
duction. At auction 34 barrels Nevis realized 333 to
35s for low to middling yellow, and 31s to 31s 6d for
fair brown.
REruma.-To-clay a free sale was experienced for
Refined for home consumption, and prices closed with
firmness; Grocery lumps at 48s 6d to 51s per cwt. For
Crushed sugar there is yet an improving market.
MIUMNIIB.-This afternoon the demand was not
more active for Mauritius sugar, and at public sale
8,400 bags were chiefly sold, best sorts at steady rates;
inferior and brown at 6d per cwt decline. Fine and
good yellow went at 34s to 37s 6d, low to middling
31s 6d to 333 6d, fine brown 30s 6d to 31s 6d, middling

moment were prevented by a scanty supply. Exporters
are desirous to operate at full previous rates. There was
no public sale. .A cargo of brown Savannah realised
19s 6d per cwt afloat.

supply being more plentiful prices have declined is to 2s
per cwt. Of 100 brls and 639 bgs Trinidad at auction

ord mid to red 32s to 355, good mid to good 353 6d to

8s 6d to 10s, white Java 8s to-12e, and cargo 83 per cwt.
There is evidently an increasing demand for cleaned
Rice, and prices range for Pain at lis to 16s, Carolina
21s to 275, and American 18s to 19s per cwt. Sege is more
plentiful, and is less wanted, prices in cohiequence aro
going down. Of 1,000 chests at public sale a small portion
only found buyers at 18s to 19s for medium grain, and at
20s to 21s 6d for large grain; 52 bats small pearl realised
