Frederick Barris, a mechanic, of No. 71, Walker-street,
Limehonse, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with
fraudulently obtaining various sums of money and
attempting to fraudulently obtain one other sum of money
from Mr. John Dicker, pawnbroker, of No. 1, Cornmer-
cielplooe, Limehonse.
Mr. Neate, solicitor to the Pawnbrokers' Protection
Society, stated thews* for the prosecution. The pri-
soner, an electro-plater, had for upwards of two
years been in the practice of pawning and re-
deeming pieces of gold and silver at the shop of
Mr. Dicker, and for a considerable time the precious
metals were 'twos tested and found to be gaming. At
last his frequent visite and his apparent straightforward
mode of doing business inspired so much confidence in the
prisoner that silver, or rather what appeared to be silver,
was received from him on many occasions without being
tested. In November last the prisoner manor coed pawn-
ing sheet silver, and there were three similar transactions
with him in the months of March and April, and about
151. was advanced to him in all, or at the rate of nearly
se. per once. On the 7th of the present month Mr.
Bodman filed the sheet of metal he bad received of
the prisoner on the previous day, and instead of
silver, as the prisoner represented it to be, it turned
oat to be copper electro-pland. The other three
pieces were then filed with the same result. They were
1111 copper and electro-plated. On Saturday evening the
prisoner again called, and presenting a sheet of metal,
which he represented to be Ming., 'eked 5/. upon it. Mr.
Rodman asked the prisoner the quality of the motel. to
which he replied silver. Mr. Bodroaa said, is it fine! The
prisoner replied, yes, pee. Mr. Batmen then, in the
of Mr. Dicker, jun., filed the metal, and
covered it to be eleetro-plated copper. The primater
was given into custody. He was inspected to have 00112.
mined similar frauds on other pawnbrokers, and as the
ease was one of great importance to the trade, he should
sok the magietrete to remand the prisoner.
Mr. Benson raid this case was so clear that there wee
maroely any occasion for an adjournment, and the prisoner
might as well be committed for nisi at ones. He should,
however, at the newt solicitation of Mr. Neate, grant a
short =mad until Wethessday.
