that -a boy, named Isaac Theis, a relative of the,
house-holder's, perished in the flames:

LAW REPORT.
COURT OF KING's BENCH, tutus 9.

THE KING V. BROWN.

.John Brown, late of Storrington, in the County
of Sussex, one Of the Attornies of this Court, was,
upon the Motion of Sir VICARY GIBBS, finally
brought into-Court to receive judgment for having
obtained a large sum of money from William Brad-
bury, under the false pretence of procuring him a
place in- the ExChequer.
Sir N.tsu G-Los'E addressing him, observed, that
he had been; Upon the clearest evidence, found guilty
of one of the foulest,frauds the Court had for many
years had occasion to animadvert upon. He could
not but have been aware of the extent of misery in
conclu& was likely to have involved the
Prosecutor.--4n fa& it had been stated at the Bar,.
that the unfortunate Prosecutor was totally ruined by
the deceit praCtised upon him. The legislature had
provided a wholesome Statute to meet the mischief
and evil consequences of such .anoffence, and had
pointed out a fit and just punishment. To. that, Sta-
tute the Court bad looked, and therefore ordered and
adjudged, that he, John Brown, should be trans-
ported to such parts beyond seas as his Majesty, with
the advice of his Privy Council; should think proper,
for the period of seven years.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH immediately ordered his
;name to be struck, off the roll of Attornies.
