LAW INTELLIGENCE.--L(This Day.)

EXCHEQUER CHAMBER.
WRIT OF EttROR.
LLEWELLYN AND OTHERS, V. THE SWANSEA CANAL
NAVIGATION COMPANY.
This was a writ of errer from the Courtiof Exche-
quer, in which counsel were fully heard 7th of February
last, and the case stood over for consideration.
Lord Chief Justice Cockburn now delivered judgment.
The point of contention was whether the water taken
to supply and fill up the lock in which one of the cons-
pany's barges was sunk, and raised by the water taken
to fill up the lock, was chargeable at the rate of 101.
per lock, a water supplied for navigation purposes,
under articles of indenture entered into between the
pat ties.
The Lord Chief Justice was of opinion that the water
supplied to fill up the lock, which was emptied to raise
the sunken barge-4as water supplied for navigation
purposes, and as such was fairly chargeable at 101. in
term of the articles of indenture. That the decision of
the Court of Exchequer upon this third point should be
reversed, and upon the second points affirmed.
The other judges concurred.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(B,tore Mr. Commissioner Fane.)

EX PARTE.-IMPORTANT APPLICATION TO DISCHARGE

FROM CUSTODY.

Mr. Salamans, of thefirniOf---.A.hbott and Salamans,
applied to his Honour for the discharge of a bankrupt
out of custody. It appeared from the statement of Mr.
Salamans that his Honour had suspended the bankrupt's
certificate, and no protection to be granted for three
months. After this decision one of the creditors ob-
tained a certificate from the Court, which operated in
the nature of a ca. sa. in the law courts, and the bank-
rupt was taken to the Queen's Bench Prison. His
health, however, was so materially affected that a medi-
cal gentleman granted a certificate to that effect.
Mr. Salamans submitted that under the 256th section
of the act the Court bad power to discharge.
His Honour did not consider that he had any power'
He was bound to do that which the act prescribed, viz.,
on the suspension of the certificate to grant a certificate
on which the creditors might act.
Mr. Salamans said there was no doubt that the legisla-
ture contemplated this as a punishment in the discretion
of the Court, which might, under the circumstances,
remit any portion of the periott.
His Honour said he reluctantly came to the conclusion
that he had no power in such a case. The Court had
unquestionably a power to discharge on the application
of the detaining creditor, but not otherwise.
Mr. SalAmaus said that he would serve a notice on the
creditor to show cause, and renew his application on a
future day.
His Honour said that he would gladly accede to the
request of the creditor, but, as far as the law went, he
did not consider be could interfere, although the bank-
rupt might die in prison.
The application was therefore adjourned.

AQUATICS.

ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB.

The schooner race which took place yesterday was ren-
dered this year more important than usual, by prizes
being given to two classes intead of one-100/ in value
for the first, and 801. for the second. The prize for the
first elms was a very beautiful ewer by Garratt, and for
the second a soup tureen by Smith ; and the distance to be
sailed was from Gravesend tothe Mouse Light and back to
Greenhithe, a distance of newly 60 miles, with a quarter
of a minute time allowed by .he larger to the smaller ves-
sels, up to 150 tons, but no title scal above.
The Prince of Wales steamer had been procured by Mr.
Hutchins, the treasurer, and left London-bridge at ten
Precisely, with a numerous and fashionable party on board.
The Prince of Wales arrived at, Gravesend at 12, where the
following were found at their stations :

FIRST CLASS, EXCEEDING 75 TONS.
YACHTS. TONS. OWNERS.
Zousve ......... 9.) ......Messrs. It. A rabin.
May Fly lll ...... G. P. Bidder.
SECOND CLASS.

Aquiline
' Wild Fire
Vestal
There was a very large stake of money depending upon
the result. By Hunt's " Universal Yacht List" we find
that the Zouave was bait by Katsey, and belongs to
Grimsby ' • the May Fly, ly White ; the Aquiline, by
Harvey ; the Wildfire, by Hanson ; the Vestal, by Inman.
It was the first time the :ouave had ever shown in the
London river. She was spoien very highly of, as having
both space and seaworthy properties, and when it was
found that she had no other opponent than the May Fly,
the betting would probably lave gone to any extent upon
her could takers have been found. The Aquiline, a very
pretty craft, was not at all it request, it being considered
that the race must unquestionably lay betweeen the Wild-
fire and the Vestal, arra so itturned out. There was wind
enough for anything, and fe much for those afloat that
they had to reef in their mainsail. The wind was mainly
from the east, although it iaried slightly throughout the
day, and this gave the yach,s a dead foul wind down, and
a flowing sheet up.
Lord Alfred Paget was the commander for the day,
assisted by Mr. R. Greene, the worthy vice-commodore,
and at p.m. 30 min. 47 sec the signal to start was given.
It was a very beautiful rate throughout, and it finished
thus :

Vestal
Wildfire
Zouave
Aquiline
The Vestal allowings quarter of a minute per ton, and
the difference being tons, gave her the victory by the
time we have describel, and beating the Zouave, she took
the first prize. She win, according to club time, by a few
seconds more.
