CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

indictment s 9
---
his trial
(Before the
REcoRDER.)
Richard Sill upon an
unlawfully charging
him with misdemeanor in having
obtained money by false pretences from
Henry Broome.
Mr. Parry and Mr. Metcalf conducted the prose-
cution ; Mr. Ball
for the defendant antine and Mr. Doyle were counsel
.
The Learned COUNSEL
for the prosecution, on open-
ing the case, said i
character, and he t was one of a very remarkable
of the jury tothereforeth bespoke the serious atten-
tionfacts he should lay before them
in support of the charge. The defendant was charged
money by false pretences, an offence
which under all cirious character, b rcumstances was one of a very se-
rious
still ut which in the present instance was
was a moreperson
seriousl by the fact that the de-
fendantt;non who had occupied a very re-
speceahle position‘ ' society, who had for some time
been an attorneyunder any cirent,
Isia"d who,
therefore, ought not,
,ances, to have been a party to any
violation of the law,
He then proceeded to state that
the defendant
Mr. Henry Broome,
charged with having obtained from
ooue
the prosecutor of the present
indict:neat, several bills of exchange of a large
ernouet, and also a considerable amount in cash,
under false peeten
ees'
iu connexion yeah a charge of
card cheating at B
had obtained a ri ghton, the particulars of which
°I
deal of notoriety, and the facts of
which it would good
Learned be necessary for him briefly to allude.
Counsel then called the attention of the
jury to the circumstance of the charge against John
Broome, the brother of the prosecutor of the present
indictment, and t
James, the lwo other persons named Staden and
latter whom, it will be remembered,
were convicted atr of
the recent assizes at Lewes, and
sentenced to two
defendant,
who hadyears' hard labour, and said that the
acted as the solicitor for the pro-
secution, in the first instance, was now charged with
obtaining bills of
exchange and money from the pro-
secutor, under
the
Walpole, pretence that he had had an inter-
viewthe Secretary of State for the
Home Department, and
preventa his that he

sufficient influence
with him to
trans-
ported, and that he could, in fact, relievefrombeing him from
any inconvenience in ref;
had been preferred againstre him.nce to the indictment that
He should be able
to prove most clearly that by means of this false re-
presentation the defendant had obtained property to
a considerable amount from the prosecutor ; and he
said he must confess he was at a loss to imagine
what line of defence would be taken. An attempt
would probably be made, he said, to attack
the character of the prosecutor, and ho was
bound to admit that Henry Broome had been a
prizefighter, and that he had also been connected with
the turf; and it might be urged that he was a man
not very likely to be imposed upon; but the jury
must recollect that he had to
deal with an attorney, a
by his man of experienoe, and who,position as solici-
tor for the prosecution against his brother, would ne-
cessarily have a great deal of influence over him, and
by whom, tneretore, he might more easily have been
deceived. The Learned Counsel next proceeded to
circumstances refer to some of the otherw of the case,
and the following evidence
as
Mr. Verrall, clerk to the benchthen adduced
of magistrates at
Brighton, deposed that he acted in that capacity upon
the occasions of the different.examinations of g
ofg ° --- Staden,
James, and John Broome, upon the char'-' Nein•
ing money and bills of exchange
means of cheating at cards. The from Mr. Ramp by
defendant, Mr. Sill,
had attended several examinations in the capacity of
and
solicitor for the prosecutor,he did so on the Bth
of March. Upon that occasion
he asked for the
motion of the magistrates to be allowed to with-
draw from , the prosecution ;a°4also that the
reeognizenees of Mr. Chase, th
Brighton, who had been hound over to prosecute,
e chief constable of
should be discharged. Tog
ground ha alleged
for desiring to withdraw from
aS that Mr. Hamp had made an the prosecution
W
subject of his bill of costs in which affidavit upon the
he made a state-
ment directly in contradictionto the evidence he had
given before the magistrates, and that his evidence
therefore could not be relied upon. The magistrates
aPPd
retired to cansider the 1
cation
thl,and upon their re-
turn they told the defendant
t as he desired to
did
withdraw from the case they not consider him any
longer as the solicitor for the
capacity. The
prosecution, and he did
not again appear in the case inthat
magistrates afterwards instructed
witness to carry on
the prosecution, and he did so, and Staden and James
were tried at the last assizes at L
ewis and convicted.
Jehh. Beoolne did not surrender to take his trial with
them.
Henry Broom?, the prosecuh d or,deposed that h

brother,w John Broome, in Air-street, Piccadilly an
,st
that he ent with h race-s "is brother to Brighton an
-

year, mid that shortly afterwards r
• charge tmt
made, against his brother and two persons
Stadeu and James, of cheating Mr. H"Zed
and defrauding, him of money by foul -rti rh
at cards. Witness did not go to 13ay
Brighton
with them. He knew nothing of what ocearred
there. He first heard of the charge on the c)
August. He knew nothing of the defendant,- Mll ofr.
Sill, until this charge Was made against his brother,
and the first time he saw him was on the evening of
the 6th of March, when he was sent fur to an
shop in the Strand, and found him there. When
defendat; saw him he mune up to him
and elah the
hands with him, and said he had been wanting ts oak
lo se©
him for some time, and they then had several
of grog, the greater part of which witness paid
After some time the defendant proposed that thefor.
should go together to witness's house, as he said
ac-
could not speak before so many people, and they i
cordingly went together to the Opera Tavern rt
this thus it was nearly 12 o clock, and they went
into into the bar, and the defendant then said that it t:
was
he who had carried on the prosecution against Wit
ness's brother, and that he had seen the Secretarvni
State upon the subject, and he bad told him
th"at"ii
his brother Was convicted he would be transPorteo.
He at the same time said that it would be impossible
for m,Pcssible
for him to eseape, as ha had drawn the indictment
and had put 13 counts into it, and it was impossible
for his brother to get through it. They had a good
deal of conversation together; in fact, the converse.
tion lasted until 5 o'clock the next morning.—(A
laugh.) In addition to what he had before stated, the
defendant told him that there was just time enough to
save his brother, and that he could do it, but he
must have at least 300/. It cvas 5 o'clock on Sunday
morning when the defendant left his house, and be
said he would give him until 2 o'clock that'day to
get up the money. He was aware that the defendant
e
had be
' e engaged as, the attorney for the prosecution,
and he was therefore induced to believe his statement'
with regard to his been in communication
with having 4.
with the Secretary' of State. The deendant came ,
again to his .tet
house about 2 o'clock, and he then re-
again
' pealed what ha hadstated• bout
before a the power he
possessed
with the Secretary of State, and lie also said
I that he had Mr.the chief r
