THE POLICE COURT&

BOW-bIREET.
CHARMS OF FRAUD AGAINST A SOLICITOR'S CLRILK.
Thomas William Reynolds, a managing clerk in the service
of Meters. Edwards and Radcliffe, soliciton, of De:ahar-
street, Westminster, was charged with obtaining money
from his employers under false pretences.
Mr. Thomas Luker, accountant acid cashier in the service
of the prosecutors, stated that on the 27th of April, the pet.
soner brought him an account for 41., which he said was the
amount of bills which he had paid to counsel on three dif-
!trent occasions, and witness handed him the money.
Mr. Nathaniel Wigton, clerk to Mr. Serjeant Channel,
said that about the day in question, the prisoner called, and
merely left a memorandum of the names of the plaintiffs and
defendants in two eases, but he did not leave any fees or

retainers.
The prisoner said he was instructed to get the retainers,
but owing to delay on the part of the learned serjeant, Mr.
Radcliffe countermanded the order, and gave directions that
Mr. Serjeant Shee should be engaged, and he could not be
guilty of the charge imputed, there being a large balance
due to him.
Mr. Radcliffe said he had no recollection of Mr. Serjeant
Shee being engaged, but the prisoner told him that the
learned stijeant would not go to the Court of Common
Pleas without receiving a fee of 601., which appeared to him
so improbable that he spoke to the a rjeant upon the subject,
and h• reply was that it was a delusion, and that he never
expected so large a fee. The cams on the list produced the
prisoner well knew would never come to a trial, as arrange-
ments were pending respecting the
Mr. Roble'', who appeared ter them•
prosecution, said there
were several other charges to be brought against the pri-
soner, and he begeed that he might be remanded.
The prisoner said that it would turn nut that he was a
defaulter in not more than one guinea. while the prosecutors
owed him upwards of 1001 He therefore hoped that b,il
would be accepted for his future appearance.
Mr. Jardine, however, declined to accept of bail, and
ordered the prisoner to be rmanded.
