BLOOMSBURY COUNTY COURT.—Sm.
(Edon, Mr. Lefroy.)
TIMPSON 0. GRAYSON.

Mr. Ablett appeared for the plaintiff, Mr. Timpsoo,
builder cod carpenter, of No. R. Clarence-road, Keutiah-
towo, who sued Mr. Grayson, solicitor, residing at 43. Bur-
ton-crescent, for the sum of 41. Yr. Davis appeared for
the defendant.

Mr. Timpson said—ln September. 1861, I was thrown
from an omnibus belonging to the London General Omni-
bus Company. I afterwards employed the defendant to re-
cover damagea for me from the company. On the day of
trial the defendant called me out of court and said the
company would give me 10/. to settle the matter,
and would give me no more. I replied that rather
than have any bother I would take 10/. The same evening
I went to the defendant'. house, when he gave me 8/. in
money. I heard nothing further in the matter until a
month or six weeks after, when I saw Mr. Harris, the
solicitor for the Omnibus Company, who informed me that
Mr. Grayson had received 17/. 10e. I have repeatedly
asked him for the remaining V., but he always denied re-
ceiving the extra 71. 10a., until latterly, when he admitted
it, and said he was hard up at the time.
Cross-examined—Mr. Monday was never my solicitor.
The receipt for 101. (produced) signed Munday, is in the
handwriting of Graysoo.
Mr. Davis then briefly addressed the judge for the de-
fence, and called upon Mr. Munday, who stated he was an
attorney in business at 6, Essex-street. In 1861 he em-
ployed Mr. Grayson as his clerk. He did not pay him any
regular ralary, but only for work actually done. He re-
, membered the action brought by Mr. Timpson against the
General Omnibus Company. The writ (produced) with
his name on was not his signature, but was written by Mr.
Grayson. He never received a fraction of the money in this
transaction. The bill of costs to the General Omnibus
Company was not in his writing but that of Mr. Grayson,
who bad also written his name on the receipt for 17/. 103.
He never saw Timpson at all in this business ; it was alto-
gether introduced by Mr. Grayson.
Some other evidence having been given,
His Honour said he considered that Mr. Monday was the
proper party to be sued, he should therefore give a non.
suit ; but there were other circumstances imported into the
case which he should not let rest there.

Mr. Ablett asked his Honour to allow him to put to Mr.
Grayson & few questions, stud the detention t being thus ioterro-
gated said : I took out my certificate for this year on the
19th of November, 1881. I don't know why I did
not take out my annual certificate the year before.
It was in November I took out my last certificate. I don't
know that I did apply to the judge for permission. On
my soul I don't recollect anythiog about it. I don't know
if ever I did swear the necessary affidavit. I Lave been
twice re-admitted.

His Honour—There are two attorreys now in this court
whose conduct will have to undergo a serious and strict in-
vestigation. Mr. Grayson, I call upon you to produce your
certificate and other papers on Tuesday neat. I shall feel
it my duty to send a copy of my notes to the Law Society,
and shall also in this court take cognizance of this mis-
conduct.

THE POLICE COURTS.

ILUTSION-HOUSE.

• customer of the firm named North, who carries on
I the business of a grocer in the Hampstelid.road, and yester-
day Mr. Lawrence said that he should prove two or three
other cases against the prisoner which he thought would be
sufficient for the prosecution, although it was fcared that
the priaorer'a defalcations amounted to nearly 400/. It was
then proved that on the Ist Auguat, Mr. Belcher, of
Camden-town. paid the prisoner 20/., on the 22nd August
