THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS August 11. • [THE TI MES.] There is no doubt that the Queen died of a broken heart; her,past and present wrongs, her future prospect uncheered with a single hope, preyed acutely on her spirits ; and as she dis dained to vent her feelings in vulgar complaint, the tortured mind gradually destroyed its frail tenement. She felt her life so great a burden, owing to the continued persecutions of her ma lignant enemies, that she courted Death the mo ment she saw him advancing to her relief. When on the Friday previous to her dissolution, a deli cate intimation was given her on the propriety of making her will, she seemed to hail with joy a hint which is usually received with terror : with her usual quickness she caught up the idea be fore it was half expressed, and said, " 17. under stand you perfectly ; I am quite ready---send for my lawyers." She spent two or three hour's in calmly and deliberately giving instructions for the will, and after signing it with a firm and s'nhesitating hand., exclaimed with a cheerful " There, now lam ready to die." Her _Majesty on the Sunday expressed a wish to receive the sacrament, but the Clergyman of the parish being restrained by ecclesiastical rules from performing this solemn office without previously consulting his principal, the sacred ceremony was postponed till the next day : her Majesty was labouring under the effects of medicine when the Minister called on Monday, and he departed with the intention of attending on Tuesday ; but then,. on account of her Majesty's severe relapse, it was thought inexpedient to disturb her. ,As a proof of. that suppressed grief which . - we have mentioned as the great cause of her Majesty's illness, we can state on authority, that many nights previous to the last attack, her Majesty had no sleep. The female attendant vi ho slept in the room noticed her restlessness, but her Ma jesty, with a disdain that was natural to her of weak and useless complaining, never mentioned the circumstance. A few hours, however, be fore her death, she observed to a faithful female attendant, " The doctors do not understand my ". malady : it is here (laying her hand upon her " heart) ; but I will be silent : my lips' shall ‘,‘ never make it known : injustice and cruelty ." have triumphed." ** We insert the above account to shew the temper of the Paper from which it issued, without giving credit to any part of it. , Her :MAJESTY died in consequence of a malady that would have destroyed any person. Her mind was too firm to yield to any thing but the pressure of actual disease.—We have reason to hope that the medicines requisite for her disorder mi tigated her pain, and that she did not suffer much ; indeed we have been assured that she had not herself any apprehensions of approaching death.—lt is deeply to be regretted that no respect able witnesses come forward with an authentic account of her MAJESTY'S last moments, to put a stop to anonymous falsehood and malevolence. [NEW TIMES.I It will be seen, that expectation was wound up to intensity among all classes of the popula tion to see a King of IRELAND in Ireland. The apprehension of her Majesty's possible decease oc:.•asioned much anxiety ; for it was felt, that if that -event should be brought to the King's notice before he left the coast of Britain, it would prof hably delay, for at least some days, his intended visit to his Irish subjects. Whether it has happened that the news actually reached his Majesty on this side of the water or not, cannot yet be ascertained.* The distance from London to Holyhead, by the shortest route, is above 260 miles. The Messenger dispatched with the ictelligence left London between one and two o'clock on Wednesday morning. llis Majesty lauded at Holyhead at two o'clock on Tuesday , afternoon,and proceeded immediately to the Mar quis of Anglesey's, where he would of course dine-and sleep ; but was expected to return to ifolyhead and embark at four o'clock on Wed resday afternoon. If these arrangements were followed, it must have been physically impossi ble that the Queen's death could be notified to his Majesty before he had been twenty-four hours in Ireland. Wherever he received the in- telligence, we have no doubt but that he would seclude himself for some days. Upon the whole, it is certainly more desirable that this should happen in Ireland than in the Isle of Anglesey. The Irish people would at least have had the happiness of giving a beloved Sovereign that cordial reception for which they had made such extensive preparations. Highly • wrought up as their enthusiasm was'on this point, it would have been much to be lamented had the King's arrival amongst them been delayed. The disappointment, and the fear that his Majesty's visit might in consequence be entirely prevented, would have occasioned much heartfelt vexation : whereas when once they possess the King.in their own country, they can the more easily endure his remaining shut up in his Royal Castle at Dublin, so•long as decorum may require. * We yesterday stated, on authority, that his Majesty had sailed from Holyhead before the news of her Majesty's death bad reached that place. -[MORNING CHRONICLE.] Letters from Holyhead state that his Majesty embarked for Dublin on Wednesday afternoon. The dispatches announcing the death of her Ma jesty, which were sent off at two o'clock on Wednesday morning, could not therefore reach Holyhead till many hours after his embarkation. The Bulletin issued by the Physicians at four o'clock on Tuesday, announcing that her Ma jesty had become much worse (with the words " much worse" in italics), must have prepared Ministers for the event which followed so soon afterwards, and they would, no doubt, feel it their duty to transmit it, without loss of time, to his Majesty ; but still the messenger could not by possibility reach his Majesty before the time at which he is stated to have set sail. His Majesty has been so often told, by those who take upon themselves to be the correct expositors of the state of Irish feeling, that the very announcement of his visit had already produced the most benefi cial results, that his presence in Ireland would utterly extinguish the dissentious which have so long raged in that unfortunate country, and that, if, after such an event, they ever re-appeared, they wonld never assume the fierce spirit of ani mosity for which they were formerly distin guished,—that his Majesty must no doubt feel extremely desirous that nothing on his part should be wanting to prevent these great benefits from being realised in their utmost extent. — Nothing ought to be so dear to a Sovereign's heart as the good of his people; and certainly the extinction of the party.fury,which has hitherto retarded the prosperity of Ireland, is a good which cannot be purchased at too high a price.— Even those who may doubt the durability of so sud .a reconciliation, would yet be very well pleased to give the experiment a fair trial. The foundations of the peace of Ireland they may think must be laid in a legislative extinction of the diversity of situation in which the parties are placed ; but as the inclinations of his Majesty must have so much influence with the Legisla ture, they cannot fail to wish that his Majesty may see with his own eyes the miserable conse quences which .have ensued from placing one half of the people in subjection to the other half, judging that the picture must inspire his Ma jesty with an eager desire to remove the odious distinction. -....1111111110.m- [BRITISH PRESS.] Far be from us a desire to interrupt, even at this solemn moment, a fair and honest inquiry into the character of her late Majesty, although we certainly do think that it might with more propriety be deferred for a few days ; but at all events, let such an inquiry be conducted with some s4w of gentlemanly feelings, even though it were only to operate in favour of the personal characters of the inquisitors. The story. of Queen Caroline's life and sufferings will form one of the most interesting passages in the history of our country ; it presents many of those striking and impressive circumstances which are well calcu lated to seize upon the imagination, and we have little doubt that when the lapse of time shall have felieved her memory from the extravagance either of panegyric or of censure, with which the excess of party zeal has just now encumbered it, she will appear to have been capriciously marked out for persecution, and to have sustained the shock of her enemies with a brave and un daunted spirit*, and although her character may not appear to be altogether devoid of faults, she will be considered as possessing in the main such qualities of head and heart as will entitle her to the respect and sympathy of all posterity. * Vide the article froin THE TIMES ;amongst our Extracts from the London Journals of this day. MORNING POST.] Brussels Papers to the Bth inst. reached us at a late hour last night. They bring fresh confir mation of the certainty of war between Russia and Turkey. Even commercial letters received at Berlin from Saint Petersburgh, represented war as inevitable ; and if it be true, as stat ed in those letters, that Baron Stroganoff had " been sent to the Castle of the Seven Towers, notwithstanding the energetic remon strances of the Ambassadors of ail the Euro pean Powers, the first open act of hostility has been committed by the Porte, and has probably ere this been revenged by the Russians. It is also confidently asserted that all the Great Powers of Europe are at length agreed on the measures which humanity and policy render ne cessary in the present situation of Turkey, and that a diplomatic document will soon be made public on the subject. 'We have no doubt that this is the case ; and the extensive reductions taking place in our army, at the very moment when Russia and Austria muster their forces to march to Constantinople, prove that our con sent has been given to the measure, or at least that we are determined to offer no opposition. EGYPT.—III the journey to Dongolah, in com pany with the expedition under the direction of ISMAEL BEY, M. FREDERICK CAILLAUD halted some time at Thebes, where he made an in teresting discovery. On the 17th of August last, he found in one of the subterraneans of Thebes, a mummy coeval with the time of the Greeks. On the head of the embalmed perso nage is a gilt crown, in the form of a lotus. The body is wrapped up in bandelets, after the Egyptian manner. On the case or sarcophagus, which envelopes the mummy, inscriptions are visible, some in Greek and others in hierogly phics. On the right side there appears, tied with fillets, a manuscript on papyrus, in the Greek language. The linen that covers the mummy is overspread with Egyptian subjects and hieroglyphic signs. In the interior of the case, the signs of the Zojliac are represented. At'a late Meeting of the Academy of Sciences in Paris, M. CuvrEtt presented to the Society the head of DES CARTES, which M. BERZELIUS had forwarded from Sweden. He read the history of the head, and also the details which proved its authenticity. M. CUYIER also produced a picture of I)Es CAtrres, and remarked that the bony _parts seemed of the same,character as those in the head sent by M. BERZELIUS, which gave strength to the idea that it was the genuine head of that great philosopher. The Academy de ferred its decision on the means of preserving it as a precious relic. At the close of the training of the Ist or East Devon Militia, for this year, eleven men who had not joined the regiment during the assembly, were considered as deserters ; four of them have since been apprehended ; but not paying the fine of 201. awarded by law, have been committed to the county gaol for six months. Such is the vi gilance of the staff of this regiment, that one has been since apprehended at Kingston, in Surrey, and three others at Bristol. Steps are pursuing to take the others, information having been re ceived where they are to be found. LIBERAL LANDLORDS—Sir GEORGE CAYLEY, in consequence of the depressed state of the mar kets, has returned to his tenants at Scampton 201. per cent. on their rents. Sir Jotim CHET.. WODE, of Oakley, Salop, at a late rent-day, re turned 151. per cent. to his tenants. We under stand RICHARD ARKWRIGHT, Esq. of Hampton Court, in Herefordshire, desired his agent, Mr. WAKEFIELD, o.n .Monday the 30th nit. to return 20/. per cent. to his tenants on their last half-. yearly rent, LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT, AUG. 10. FELLOWES V. FELLOWES, FELLOWES V. GARDNER, AND FELLOWES V. BELL. These cases were brought before the Court this day by Mr. SHADWELL, on a motion praying the Court to make an order for a reference to the Master for further inquiry, and for further direc tions. The motion was made on behalf of certain persons, who were described as having a contin gent interest under the Will of the grandfather of the children of Lord and Lady FeHowes, in the event of their surviving her Ladyship, and the children not attaining the age of 21 ; and arose from a mistake under which all the parties had laboured, the Trustees having considered the property under the before-mentioned Will, and that under the settlement between Lord and Lady Fellowes, to be one and the same, instead of treating it as separate, and making a provision for the contingent interest out of the funds in vested under the Will. In consequence, the parties now came before the Court for farther di rections, to remedy the mistake. Mr. BELL, Mr. SIIADWELL, Mr. AGAR, and Mr. KNIGHT, appeared for the re.pective parties. Mr. BELL, in allusion to the payment of costs, suggested that the fund should be made liable to them. The VICE-CHANCELLOR submitted that he could not do this, as it was clear all the parties had acted from mistake; and where Trustees were .not shewn to have acted wilfully wrong, the Court would not, even though some error had been committed, order them to pay the costs. Here they had done nothing to induce the-Court to say they were not entitled to have their costs paid ; and he was of opinion that Sir James Fel lowes must pay them. Mr. SHADWELL submitted, that some special order should be made relative to his clients' claim, though the time at which they could claim might never arise. The VICE-CITANCELLOR observed, that some special declarations must certainly be made, and the Court were bound to take care that the funds under the will, and the property under the set tlement, were separated, as the claimants under the will could not make their election and take the other property. Neither could the* children make their election, for they must take under both the will and the settlement. With respect to disturbing the funds, he was of opinion the best course would be to order the whole into Court, until the contingent claimants were in esse. There were certain City bonds to which allusion had been made, and these he thought he should order to be sold and accounted for by Sir James Fellowes. lie should also direct that an account of the contingent claims of the parties, after Lady Fellowes and her children under the will had been satisfied, should be taken ; and if, after turning the matter over in his mind, his present opinion underwent no alteration, he should draw up an order to the effect before stated and hand it down ; but if any change should take place, he would inform the Counsel of it on Monday. er accomplished the kWh of the unhappy girl at his father's lodgings. This was in the month of November. She went to her new place, and about the month of January she proved with child. She communicated this circumstance to the prisoner, who, in his letters to her down to the month of February, addressed her in the warmest terms of affection and tenderness, always concluding his epistle by subscribing himself " her affectionate and faithful husband." Short ly after the prisoner had discovered that the un happy girl was pregnant, he sent her a quantity of 'pennyroyal, accompanied by the following letter : " My dearest Hannah,—Herewith you will receive a small portion of a most excellent remedy for the tooth-ache, pre scribed by the famous Dr. Solomon, in his Gaide to Health.' To satisfy you that it is his prescription, and not mine, I will quote his words. He says—' It is (the toothe-ache) soon re moved, by dipping a bit of cotton into the Cordial Balm of Gi lead, and applying it to the afflicted tooth.' This liquid is the Cordial Balm of' Gilead, some of which I happened to be in possession of; I hope you will apply it immediately, and find a speedy relief from that tremendous pain. As the time for the other matter is fast approaching, I advise you by all means to be prepared with the tea of the pennyroyal, it being a most effectual remedy to hinder the course of things. The tooth ache is a sure symptom of a woman's being in that way. This 'is the opinion of all the profession. However, if you apply your remedy in time,. there is no danger to fear. Do you think you shall be able to spend an hour with me next Sunday evening ? I shall remain at 'Witham throughout the day, according to the arrangements I have made. 1 have two or three tnings which I wish to talk over with you, as well as to shew you. .They are not of an alarming nature, therefore don't be fearful of any thing of that sort. It is quite, I think, what you will like to see. I shall most likely have the opportunity of seeing you again before Sunday, and then you can inform me whether you think your old fudge will permit you to come out on Sunday, or otherwise, and it you have any thing impor tant to - express, you can write to me, aid leave it at Mrs. Cot ton's, or send it 6y the post, which.way you may deenr. most convenient and proper. " I am, my dearest Hannah, your's very sincerely, faithfully, and affectionately, " R. COLLINS." " P.S.—The Cordial is not of an unpleasant, but rather of a pleasant taste." " Addressed to Hannah Stammers, 'Witham, Essex." Upon the receipt of this letter, with its accompaniment, she took the pennyroyal, as prescribed, hut it had not the effect desired. When she saw the prisoner afterwards, he told her that he would bring her something that would lo her good. He then brought her a box of steel pills, which he desired her to take every morning fasting. The box contained 12 pills, which she took, but they produced no other effect than to heat her system violently. lie had seen her frequently at this time, and desired her to keep on taking the - pills. He afterwards brought her a gallipot, containing some electuary, but what it was she did not know, desiring her to take. a piece about the size of a walnut three times every, day. .That pot was to last her one day.—This not. having the desired effect, he brought her three twigs of some sort of tree, the name of which she did not know, with directions to boil half of them in two quarts of water, until it was reduced to one quart, and take a tea cup full three times every day. ThiS she did for about two days. Upon this failing, he told her to get some steel filings, and make them into pills, and take them three tim es a d a y. This she did ; but in the same evening, he told her not to take the filings in the slit* of pills, but in some liquid, and if the particles hung about her mouth, to rince them down with tea or water. He mentioned, that a lady whom he knew, had been three months gone with 'child ; and steel filings had done 'away the situa tion she was in.. Having taken the steel filings for a day, without effect, he then brought her a phial of medicine, of a pale red colour, of which' he desired her to take two tea spoons full, in a cup of warm water, three tiinesa day. She took this medicine once, but it would not stay on her stomach.. He then advised her to take it in cold water, which she did, but it had the same effect. She was now so ill that she was obliged to leave her place, and go home to her mother's house, at Boreham, where she was desired by the prisoner to remain quiet, and perhaps the medicine ' would rem a i n on h er stomach. She took the medicine again, when she got home, and her mother, a decent woman, who gets her living by attending Ladies in childbirth, detected her in the fact, and upon discovering that she had been seduced, and the object of taking such remedies, she immediately snatched the bottle from her, and in her fright threw it into the fire, where its contents burnt like spirits. The mother took the earliest opportunity that her avocations would permit of calling on the prisoner, at his lodgings in Witham, and in an interview with him she said, " Good. God ! how came you to give Hannah that stuff which she. brought home in a bottl e ?" He said, " Mrs. Stamers, I will state the truth. When I first stated to Hartnett that I could not make her my wife,she hung about me; she said she would rather die than live; she was sure that she dare not come to Boreham • her friends would take no notice of her. " Good God !" said ale mother, " what would youthink in giving her th a t s t u ff? I v er ily believe, had she taken the re maining part that was in that bottle, she .would have been a corpse.' The prisoner answered, " I know that." The mother then said--" But she has not taken it." The prisoner replied, "I am glad of it." The unhappy parent then said, " What answer must I take to Boreham ?" The prisoner replied—" At this moment I cannot give you an answer that you will be satis fied with," and bid her good afternoon. For four months the prosecutrix remained in anxious expectation that the pri soner would fulfil his engagement to marry her. Her preg nancy was rill advancing, and although her constitution had overcome the attempts made to destroy it, her health was in a precarious state. Repeated applications were made to the prisoner to marry her, but lie as often declined, upoo the plea of inability, and that he was afraid of losing his situation without a cha;acter. At length the unhappy girl came to lielinsford, and placed the prisoner's letters in the hands of Mr. Archer, Clerk to the Magistrates of the District, and asked his advice how she ought to proceed. Nlr. Archer immediately wrote a very sensible letter to the prisoner, advis ing him to make her the only compensation he could, name ly, by making- her his wife, and at the same time warning him that the helpless and distressed Hannah was not without friends who would see her righted if he persisted in his injus tice. This letter was answered in a manner which gave offence to Mr. Archer, and a further correspondence ensued, which ended in laying the case before Sir John Tyrell, Bait. and the rest of the Bench of Magistrates, who imine.diattly recommend ed that the prisoner should be prosecuted, and bound over the poor girl to appear at the Assizes for that purpose. She now appeared to give evidence reluctantly against her faithless se ducer, and told her story in an artless and prepossessing man ner. Her evidence was corroborated by her mother, and by a fellow-servant named Moss, who had purchased the steel filings for her, in consequence of ie suggestion of the prisoner. The prisoner seemed little affected by his situation. To the very last an opportunity was afforded him Of making his peace, by marrying the girl, but he refused, alleging that matters were gone too far. He had been admitted to bail. Repeated over tures had been made to him to marry the girl since his com mitment ; but he declined for the reason stated. In his defence he insisted that the girl had seduced him, and that at her earnest request he had procured and administered to her the drugs in question, in consequence of her having become pregnant. Several respectable inhabitants of Witham, and amongst others Mr. Pattison, his master, gave hitn an extremely good character for morality and general correctness of deportment: Mr. Mackay, jun. a young man about the prisoner's age, now a suAgeon at Bury St. Edmond's, and then an assistant to a sur geon at Witham, .gave it as his opinion, that pennyroyal or steel filings administered in any quantity could not- produce a miscarriage. A large dose of steel filings might produce death, but not miscarriage. Cross-examined.—The prisoner was intimate with him. He had never purdiased any medicines of him, but he had given the prisoner what he wanted. The prisoner asked him what medicine would be-good for the purpose ? for that he had had an intercourse with a young servant girl, who was in a fa mily way ; and witness recommended pennyroyal. Witness never gave the prisoner any thing that could produce mis carriage.. _ Dr. — Prichard, a physician of Chelmsford, was also of opinion that neither pennyroyal nor steel filings could produce miscar riage, if taken in any quantity. Death might be produced by steel filings, if a sufficient quantity could be taken into the sto mach, :nit before that quantity could be taken into the stomach, it would nauseate and reject it. Mr. Baron WOOD told the Jury, in point, of law, that if they were satisfied the prisoner had administered the drugs with in tent to procure. miscarriage, though they were incapable of pro ducing that, effect, and though the young woman had willingly consented to take them, the case was within the statute, and they were bound to find the prisoner guilty. . The Jury immediltelY found the prisoner Guilty. The Learned Judge expressed himself perfectly satisfied with the verdict, and animadverted in strong terms upon the enor mity and cruelty of the prisoner's crime. Public example re quired the severest visitation of punishment that the raw autho rised, in order to warn others against committing a similar crime, which unhappily was but too prevalent. The sentence of the Court therefore was, that the prisoner should be trans. ported for the term of 14 years. TIIE ASSIZES. CHELMSFORD, Avo. 9. CROWN SIDE. —Before Mr. Baron Woon. Reuben Collins a young man of respectable appearance and of good education, was indicted under the late Lord Ellenborough's Act, 43 Geo. 3. c. 58, s. 2, for wilfully and maliciously administering to Hannah Stammers, single woman, six ounces of certain medicines and drugs, in or der, and with intent to procure premature partu rition of a foetus, of which she was pregnant by the prisoner. There were four other counts, varying the description of the drugs adminis tered to the prosecutrix, successively calling them medicines, drugs, substances, steel pills, and pills. The words of the Statute upon which the indictment was framed are—" If any person or persons shall wilfully and maliciously admi nister to, or cause to be administered to, or taken by any woman, any medicines, drug, or other substance or thing whatsoever, or shall use or employ, or cause or procure to be used or em ployed, any instrument or other means whatso ever, with intent thereby to cause or procure the miscarriage of any woman not being, or not being proved to be quick with child at the time of ad ministering such things, or using such means, that then, and in every such case, the person or persons so °Wending, their counsellors, alders, and abettors, knowing of and privy to such of fence, shall be, and are hereby declared to be, guilty of felony, and shall be liable to be fined, imprisoned, set in and upon the pillory, publicly or privately whipped, or to suffer one or more of the said punishments, or to be transported be yond the seas for any term not exceeding four teen years, at the discretion of the Court before which such offender shall be tried and con victed."—This case excited very general interest, from its extraordinary and ungsual character.— Mr. BRODRICK conducted the prosecution, and Mr. WALFORD and Mr. ADOLPHUS the defence. The circumstances opened for the prosecution were these : The prisoner was the son of very humble parents at Witham, in this County, his father being a journeyman shoemaker in that town. Notwithstanding his humility of parentage, he had acquired an education far above his station. He had become a clerk, or writer, in the office of Mr. Pattison, a respectable solicitor in his native town, where he had been a diligent and .meri torious servant for seven years, and at the time of this transaction had attained the age of twenty one. The prosecutrix, a young woman of ex tremely modest and correct deportment, was a domestic servant in Mr. Pattison's family.— During an absence of Mr. Pattison and his family from home in the autumn of last year, the prison er and the prosecutrix were left in the house. The prisoner 'formed an attachment for her—it was mutual, and he promised her marriage. No criminality appeared to have taken place in Mr. Pattison's house. The prosecutrix left her mas ter's house and went to live shortly afterwards in the service of Mrs. Watson, in the same town. —ln the interval between her quitting Mr. Pattison's and going to her new place, the prison- POLICE IN'TELLIGENCE, ' JUDGE. Gniintratre—The no :, , t,- of a Judge being brought up, before a magistrate upon a,• :ant,. to giste bail to an indict+ anent for a libel, excited some ...terest, and drew nuMbers to the Guildhall Justice-room on i - arsdoy last, it being expected that Mr. Kenrick would have returned to town with Harrison, the Marshalman, for the purpose, by that day. It turned out, how ever, that Alderman Venables, upon the undertaking of Messrs. Wimburn, and Collet, to write tit the Learned Judge for fur ther instructions, had directed Harrison to defer his adtitney.--- The Alderman also wrote himself to Mr. Kenrick on the subject-. On Thursday morning two letters were received from air. Kenrick ; the one directed to Mr. Alderman Venables' own residence, and the other to the Sitting Alderman, or, in his absence, to the clerk at the Guildhall office. The purport of. these letters was, that Mr. Kenrick could not make it collat. nieneto attend on that day, and if the refusal of Messrs. Wim burn and Collett's bail were persisted in, he (Mr. K.) would, on notice of the amount of bail required, enter into the same, to gether with his own recognizance, before. the Magistrate in Surrey, who had backed the warrant against him ; or he would, on his passing through London to go on his circuit, attend a nd give the necessary bail at the Justice-room. And in conclusion, if neither of these propositions should be deemed satisfactory, without meaning any disrespect to Mr. Alderman Venables, he (the Alderman) would pursue such other measures as he might be advised. The plea of privilege, set up as a ground for disobeying the warrant, not being disavowed, the Alderman conceived it his duty, out of respect for the dignity of the Magistracy, to enforce the attendance of Mr. KenriCk, by again dispatching Harrison with the warrant. Some doubt, however, arose whether Harrison's having eV' cuted his warrant, and subsequently coming away without his prisoner,Alie warrant was not functus officio :' and also, how far the Learned Judge could claim to enter into recognizance, and put in bail before the Magistrate who backed the warrant. The City Solicitor was accordingly consulted, who, without pronouncing absolutely upon the state of the warrant, was of opinion that Mr. Kenrick might procure a supersede:7,s' tb the warrant, by entering into proper bail and recognizance before the Magistrate in Surrey. Upon this opinion the prosecutor also consenting, it was determined to recei ve th e b a il o f M es sr"' Wimburn and Collett, and those Gentlemen were expected to have attended at the Justice Room yesterday for that purpos'; They did not however attend; but Mr. M a b er ly' s c l er k produce°, a letter from Mr. Wimburn, in which he undertook for the AP' pearance of Mr. Kenrick on the 16th, unless he should hear frorn that gentleman that something had prevented him. This rot amounting to any thing like a positive undertaking on his part, it was suggested that Mr. Kenrick might avail himself of his privilege, as he would then be going on his circuit, and could e° l ' therefore be brought in to give bail previous to the Sesaiou* which commence on the 10th of September ; it was therefor e determined that Messrs. Wimburn and Collett should give positive undertaking for Mr. Kenrick's appearance on that dill or that Harrison should be again sent off to enforce the Learn' Judge's attendance. , The morning's post, however, brought * letter from that Gentleman to the Alderman, wherein, alto' premising that he had seen the statement published in the news' papers, he asserted that Harrison must have mistaken him, he certainly never had claimed any privilege as a Judge agall the enforcement of the warr a nt ; on, th e con t rar y, h e conceive that, so far from being privileged, were he upon his circuit, Ln even upon the Bench, the Magistrate's warrant was authori tative, and it was his duty, to obey it. Harrison persisted that Mr. Kenrick had claimed to be pr a t vileged, and that he told him to take him a t hi s p er il, b u t aetrr Learned. Judge disavowed any such privilege, and professed submission to the law, Mr. Alderman 'Venable, c on ce i ve d tha t eery thing had been one that he felt it hi s d u ty t o requ ire f or the purpose of supporting the dignity of the Magisterial offic e ,,' it was therefore settled that Messrs. Winburn and Collett shot , '" give an undertaking or enter bail, as should be agreed. up on between them and Mr. Moberly, the prosecutor.
