    Circuit Court. D. Maryland.
    May Term, 1812.
    Bail—Surrender op Principal.
    Bail cannot surrender their principal before n judge at his chambers.
    Biays was bail for one Merrihu. After the scire facias issued, and within the time allowed by the rule for a surrender of principal, Biays surrendered Merrihu before HOUSTON, District Judge, during vacation, who ordered an exoneretur to be entered.
   But by

DUVAL, Circuit Justice:

There is no law authorizing a surrender before a judge at his chambers, nor is there any rule of court to that effect. It was once attempted before Judge Hanson, and refused.
