The question was, Whether whales were inter regalia or if they fell under the grant of wreck? The Ordinary found them inter regalia, and we were of the same opinion; but Arniston did not like that expression, and therefore we made our interlocutor, that whales do not fall under the gift of wreck, and therefore adhere to the Ordinary's interlocutor, which is in effect the same thing. Arniston and Royston thought they fell under wreck. They owned they had always believed they were inter regalia till this process, but now they found no sufficient foundation for that opinion, and therefore they now thought they fell under wreck. 14th, The Lords refused, a reclaiming bill without answers, and adhered.
