GAOL DELIVERY.-DETAINERS.

Mr. B,egistrar Brougham visited Whitecross--
street Prison on the 18th inst., and of 13 prisoners
examined, adjudicated seven bankrupt, and ordered
their discharge. Fite of these were accordingly
released, but two of them were not allowed by the
gaoler to depart, in consequence of detainers which
had been lodged against them after the order of
discharge had been actually signed by the learned
registrar. In the one case, the detainer was lodged
at the sheriff's office by a judgment creditor, whomt
the debtor had duly included in his list of creditors.
In the other case, the detainer had been lodged at
the sheriff's office on the 11th instant, but was not
sent down to the gaol until after the learned regis-
trar had left it on the 18th. Having, however, been
lodged before the debtor had also quitted the prison,
the gaoler did not feel himself authorised to act upon
the registrar's order for his discharge, and both pri-
soners had accordingly to remain incarcerated until
the court could be moved for their release. It is
quite clear that the gaoler could not have included
the names of these creditors in his return of " the
names and addresses of every creditor at whose suit.
each such prisoner is imprisoned or detained" (seo
100), since, on the Ist of the month, when the return
was made, their detainers had not been lodged, and
it would be absurd to propound that creditors are
not to lodge their detainers effectually after the let
of the month, because this would amount to a pro-
position that they are not to lodge them at all. In
the case of one of these debtors, process had not been
served upon him until after he was a prisoner, and
it may be that the creditor had not an earlier oppor-
tunity for lodging his detainer. A detainer issuing
forth, as he imagines, from prison, armed with the
registrar's order discharging him from custody and
protecting him from arrest from any claim, debt, or
demand, is naturally annoyed at finding himself
pulled back by a detainer; but the creditor would
have equal and more right to complain if he were
not allowed his legal rights under that detaining
power. The inconvenience to the debtors will amount
to his remaining in prison for a few days, until ap-
plication can be made for his discharge, which is
granted almost of course, unless he can be shown
by an opposing creditor to be within the provisions
of sec. 112 of the act of 1849.—Gazette of Bank-
ruptcy.
