LAW INTELLIGENCE.
ROUSE OF LORDS, March 17.
The House sat to-day to hear Scotch Appeals ; the
Peers present were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham,
and Lord Campbell.

RISK V. MUIR.
This case came before their Lordships upon an appeal
from the decision of the Court of Session in Scotland.
The principal question in the case was, whether the ap-
p anent, a grocer in Dumbarton, under a statutory pro-
vision exempting the resident burgesses of Dumbarton,
upon certain conditions, from p tyment of the river and
tonnage dues imposed by the Acts for the Improvement
of the Navigation of the Clyde and the Harbour of Glas-
gow, was exempted from tonnage dues on two puncheons
of whisky: (amounting to Is. 6d.) carried from the
Broomielaw to Dumbarton. The Court of Session de-
cided that the appellant was not exempted from payment,
and from that decision he brought the present appeal.
Mr. Turner and Mr. J Anderson appeared for the ap-
pellant, and the Solicitor-General and Mr. Bothell sup-
ported the decision of the Court below.

Their Lordships. at the conclusion of the arguments,
gave judgment affirming the decision of the Court of
Session.

BANKRUPTCY COURT, March 16.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Small MM.)
IN BE N. BOUCHIER.

The insolvent in this case, who was a captain in the navy,
now on half-pay, applied for his interim order. His debts
were stated at about 10,0001., and he offered to set aside 25/.
a year out of his half•pay, which was 2181. per annum, for
the gradual liquidation of his debts.
Mr. Tucker, as solicitor for the insolvent, said that 7,000/
odd out of the 10,0001., stated to be debts, were liabilities. He
was captain of a certain vessel, and he undertook to take
care of a cargo for a person. The ship was wrecked, and an
action was tried and decided against the insolvent. The cargo
was worth about 5,0001. Captain Bouchier has been residing
abroad for some time, and he came here at the request of his
creditors, all of whom, with the exception of one or two, to
the extent of about 3001., were willing to accept the proposi-
tion of 25/. a year.
The insolvent, on examination, stated that he took the
benefit of the Insolvent Debtors' Act in 1835, with debts
to the amount of 9,0001, which were all paid, with the
exception of about 9001., by gradual payments of 40/. a
year out of his half-pay. That sum was etopped
by Government. His daughters never kept an academy in
France, and they wero never in one. He had resided in France,
where he hired a house and furniture at 80/. per annum, but
there was no furniture in France of his own. The insolvent
had made voyages to India, during which he had been very
unfortunate. He had resided in Ostend, but he had no pro-
perty there. His wife had a private income some four or
five years since, and she sold it to pay off an over-due bill
upon which an action had been brought; and in conse-
quence of it the insolvent had suffered eleven months' impri-
sonment in France.

Mr. RYDER, as solicitor for a Mr. Yates, said he appeared
to oppose upon the ground that the insolvent had contracted
a debt of 50/. with his client in Belgium, without any reason-
able means of payment.
Mr. Tuctutt said the insolvent had no indea of taking the
benefit of the Insolvent Act when he contracted these debts,
and his son, who was second mate in a ship, would have paid
Mr. Yates. Had the creditors not requested his client to
come to this Court, he would not. Under all the circum-
stances of this case, he (Mr. Tucker) hoped the Court would
grant the interim order.

The Learned COMMI—SS lONIA, looking at all the facts of the
case, granted the interim order.

The insolvent will pay 251. a year to his creditors.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, March 17.
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.)
IR RE BURLEIGH.

The Learned COMMISSIONER yroceeied to give judgment
on claims put in by Pyke and Norfolk Burleigh, sons of this
bankrupt, who had carried on business as an at' orney.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said that the claims were to
a large amount, and were alleged to be founded on debts in •
curred many years ago under a breach of trust, anti suppos-
ing that to be the fact the statute of limitation would not
operate. On the marriage of the bankrupt with his ife
some large estates were settled on them by the parents of
the lady, for their use during their lives, and to be held in
trust by the bankrupt for their children. Pyke Burleigh
came of age in 1817, and in 1821 he joined with
his father in a deed for the sale of part
of the property, and in 1825 the remaining
was sold by the consent of Norfolk Burleigh, who had then
come of age ; they did not insist on the terms of the trust
being carried out by the investment of the purchase-money,
but consented to its being retained by the bankrupt. His
Honour said he was clearly of opinion that they had waived
their right, and could not now come in and claim in prefer-
ence to the other creditors. It, in fact, stood precisely as
though they had lent the money, and could not be regarded
as a breach of trust; they would have had the benefit of the
father's speculations had they proved fortunate. He
was most strongly of opinion, in the case of Pyke
Burleigh, that he had no ground of claim, for he
was one of the parties in whose names the money
ought to have been invested—there was in that
respect therefore a shade of difference, and barely a shade
between his case and that of Norfolk Burleigh's. In some
cases the father had exercised undue parental influence, but
in this there was no such excuse, both the claimants were of
mature age, and Pyke had been clerk to his father, who was
an attorney carrying on a large business, and, therefore, not
likely to have been deluded into a waiver of his rights. The
claim was disallowed.
