F. J. Moss, an attorney, was charged before Mr.
Combo with obtaining 11. 145., costs in a cause decided
in the Southwark County Court, under false pretences.
Mr. Roberts, a solicitor in the above court, said that
some time since a cause, Hill against Robinson, was tried
f$ n d determined at the Southwark County Court, and
that the prisoner was subpcenaed on the part of the plain-
tiff to give evidence. But subsequently to the issue of
the case, the prisoner called at the court and represented
himself to have been the attorney engaged in the busi-
ness, and that upon this false representation the costs,
amounting to 1/. 145., were paid over to him. Mr.
Roberts added, that he was prepared to prove that the
prisoner was not engaged in the way he described, and
that if he did so to the magistrate's satisfaction, he
trusted that he would treat the chargo as that of obtain-
ing money under false pretences, and send it before a
jury. He then:called
Mr. Farmer, a clerk in the Southwark County Court,
who produced a book containing the entry of the case
Hill against Robinson, and stated that the prisoner
called at the court subsequently to the decision of the
case, and represented, in answer to the questions put to
him, that he was the attorney engaged in the matter.
That upon this representation he (witness) paid him over
the costs, amounting to 11. 145.
The prisoner contended that he was engaged as soli-
citor in the case referred to. and that ho was only
anxious to court inquiry, and would be enabled to prove
satisfactorily that he had not acted in the business con-
trary to the Act regulating County Courts.
Mr. CosinE said, that in his opinion, if a fraud had
been committed, it was against the County Court; that
as the matter at present stood he would give the com-
plaining party an opportunity of indicting the prisoner,
and for that purpose he should adjudge him to enter
into his own recognisances to appear at that Court on
Wednesday; andin the mean time proceedings might be
adopted against him at the sessions, which were then
holding for the county of Surrey.
The accused having entered into his recognisances,
was liberated, and Mr. Roberts proceeded to the Ses-
sions-house to commence proceedings against him.
