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 and
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 receive the bail of Messr"'
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 aberly's clerk 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 therefore
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 warrant ; on, the contrary, he 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 prat
vileged, and that he told him to take him at his peril, but aetrr
Learned. Judge disavowed any such privilege, and professed
submission to the law, Mr. Alderman 'Venable, conceived that
eery thing had been one that he felt it his duty to require for
the purpose of supporting the dignity of the Magisterial office,,'
it was therefore settled that Messrs. Winburn and Collett shot,'"
give an undertaking or enter bail, as should be agreed. upon
between them and Mr. Moberly, the prosecutor.
