Judged hesitation with unrestrained pride (7)
I believe the answer is:
umpired
'judged' is the definition.
(umpiring is a kind of judging)
'hesitation with unrestrained pride' is the wordplay.
'hesitation' becomes 'um' (sound made when hesitating).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'unrestrained' indicates an anagram.
'pride' anagrammed gives 'pired'.
'um'+'pired'='UMPIRED'
(Other definitions for umpired that I've seen before include "Ripe mud (anag.)" , "Refereed" , "Officiated (cricket)" .)
