U.S.

BY THE COURT:

We are clearly and unanimously of opinion, that a mandamus ought not to issue. It is evident, that the District Judge was acting in a judicial capacity, when he determined, that the evidence was not sufficient to authorize his issuing a warrant for apprehending Captain Barre : and (whatever might be the difference of sentiment entertained by this Court) we have no power, to compel a Judge to decide to the dictates of any judgment, but his own. If is unnecessary, however, to declare, or to form, at this time, any conclusive opinion, on the question which has been so much agitated, respecting the evidence required by the 9th article of the Consular Convention.

The Rule discharged
