anxious for the fullest investigation. For _the refusal of die
search-warrant, be. thoulpi!' Mr. -Kenitek findbeenjustifieil ie
it.' The taking Canfor into custody had been reprehensible.
But, as far as warmth of temper was
_concerned, seeing what
the House had seen of 111 r. Cantor at 'the bar, if no man was
fit to be a Magistrate .but such as •conld have patience with
that person, very few persons, he believed, • would be in
such a state of qualification. On the whole, he did not quite
agree in either of the courses whieh, had been recommended.—
That suggested by the Honourable Member for Nottingham, he
thought, went too far; and the other did not convey even
that de wee of censure which lie thought the case deserved.
Sir FRANCIS BURDETT took the short question to be—
's question which the House was bound to pursue in any shape,
and by. all available inquiries—whether Mr. Kenrick had or
had not exhibited such qualities of character as deserved to
:preclude hint from further filling two such offices as those
of justice of the peace, and judge upon a circuit. In his opinion
this had decidedly been the case. He by no means looked at
the transaction in the light in which it was attempted to be
presented. by the Honourable Gentleman Opposite, Bin, seeing
that it .was too late now in the session to obtain all the evidence
which Mr. Kenrick might think necessary to h
isjustification,
'lie should advise his Hon. and Learned Friend to rest satisfied
with the opinion which
.the House had already expressed ;
-leaving upon _.,misters the responsibility of declaring how
.far, upon their own investigation, the effect of the resolution
moved ought be carried into operation, and reserving to him-
self the opportunity, in the next session, of inquiring
what discretion had been exercised. In proposing this course,
he desired to be understood as fully ready to go all the length
proposed by his Honourable and Learned Friend (Mr. Den-
man); and as being decidedly of opinion, that, upon due con-.
sideration, there was only one course which the Right Hon.:
Gentlemen on the other side could adopt. The Hon. Baronet
concluded by obserVing, while the House was on the-question of
dismissing Judges, that there was a petitian to'which he should,.
in the next year, call its attention, from a Mr. Thorpe, late
Judge at Sierra Leone, who, as it appeared to him, had been
dismissed from hid office upon grounds far. lighter than those
now proved before the House, and, generally, very unsatis-
factory.
•• 111 r. W. COURTENAY said, that it was quite impossible
-to cast upon Ministers the responsibility of dismissing a Judge
'from his *office, against WhoM. the house had not gone so far as.
to come to.any vote of reprehension_ , ,
'Sir F. BURDETT had only teferred (as we understood) to
Kenrick.'s removal from the Commission of the Peace.
Mr. W. 'COURTENA Y considered that view of the case
-still more wide of justice or practical, efficacy than the other._
For, was it possible for Ministers to come to a resolution that a
gentleman was not fit. to be a 'Magistrate, and yet allow him.to •
go on filling the office of a Judge?
Mr.'DENMAN said, that upon the true view of the case the
House seemed to differ very little in opinion. When a Right
lion- Gentleman opposite, in defending Mr. Kenrick, spoke of
his conduct as discreditably intemperate, and highly blameable,
this was coming as .nearly as possible to the language of his
,(Mr. Denman's) own resolutions, Under these circumstances,
maintaining that his proposition in its fullest extent was the
correct one, he should rest satisfied with the House having pro
nounced no decision upon the case, and should not press his
Vote to a division'
Mr. CItOKER reprobated the warmth of temper shown by
Mr. Kenrick, but denied that his anxiety to obtain possession
of the note and of the fleece had originated in any sinister
motive.

M. LOCKHART observed, that the preSent case showed
theinconvenience of making Judges also Justices of the Peace.
Th-e House could not question a gentleman's fitness for one
-situation, without impugning his character as regarded the
=other.

Mr. WY NN admitted some haste and intemperance in Mr.
- kenrick's conduct in the present case, but declared that his be-
haviour as a Judge in \Vales had always given the highest sa-
tisfactioe. With respect to the strictures upon ills. Kenrick's
inivate character, he thought that they might hs well have been
omitted, particularly as far as they came- from at gentleman
whose judgment might be something warped bythe fact of his
having a law-suit with him. For these severe dealings, too,
with Mr. Kenrick for his warmth, he doubted how far they
Would form a convenient precedent. If a man's temper was to
be so decidedly alleged against him as a ground of unfitness to
fill a publk situation--suppose it were to be made a question
Ilene far a Gentleman who, in a Comniittee of the House, had
been so intemperate as to commit a violent assault. upon
another—how far such a Gentleman was tit to'rernain a Mem-
' ber of Parliament ?—(Hear, hear ! and great laughter.)—He
believed that there had been a great many admirable judges,
whose conduct would not have borne this inquiry which was to
'be inflicted upon Mr. Kenrick. In conclusion, he would say,
'that if it had been proved that Mr. Kenrick had acted from
corrupt motives, that would have been a sufficient ground for
addressing the Crown to remove him from his office ;.but no
such fact had in his opinion been established, and he thought
tna case as it at present stood was too slight to require any
notice to be taken of it by that Hotise.
tMr. li. SUMNER said, that if he was the person to whom
le Right lion. Gentleman had allnded as being engaged in a
ve.weet:n with Mr. Kenrick, he begged to infeirm him that he
lee-4'.","informeti. He was engaged in 'n&law-suit_with
tane:eKr, although he defied any man who lived within five

MAI3I74,RLY having seen it stated in the Morning mr.onielt that a relative of his was engaged in a dispute with
lienrick, thought it necessary to declare that he was not
are of that fact when he delivered his sentiments on •this
question on a former evening.
Mr. WYNN had understood that there had lately been
e proceedings in Chancery between Mr. Kenrick and the
410 n. Member Surrey. If he had committed any mistake, he
was sorry for it.
Mr. DEN MAN said that the cases of a choleric Member
. 01. Parliament and an intemperate Magistrate were not pa-
rallel. The violence of the former could injure no person
but himself; whilst the intemperance of the latter might prove
hurtful to those whom it was his duty to protect.
The CIIAIItMAN then put the question on the amendment,
'which was carried without a division.
Mr. Gontow- quitted the Chair amidst cries of" Hear!"
hthe House having resumed, he reported the resolution which
ad been agreed to in the Committee, and it was confirmed by
tut Houle.
