MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

T

David 4dwards, a pretended attorney, yeas charged
with defrauding Peter Duncan of the sum of 21.
Mr. ALLEY stated the case to the Jury. It was a
prosecution instituted by the Metropolitan Law Society
against the prisoner. He was a hanger-on at some of
the Police Offices, and had on the present occasion un-
dertaken to defend the brother of the prosecutor, but
towards the performance of which undertaking he had
not performed a.single act. He should call the wit-
nesses, and it woull then be for the Jury to judge whe-
ther he was guilty or not.
Peter Duncan, a native of the Emerald hle, in whose
face the essenceof potatoes, good-nature, and simplicity
were beaming, now appeared.
Mr. ALLEY.—Now, Peter, tell your own story.
Witness.—By my word, I will, Sir. My brother, you
know, was in a bit of trouble—why, a rape, I believe,
you call it—and so I thought I might as well try what
I could do to get him out of the law. I'm no lawyer
myself, and so I thought I'd go to look for somebody
that was. So I seen this man at the bar, and I says to
him, says Aie you anything in the law?''—" Oh,
no," says he; 44 but I'm as good as that."—" Oh! that's
all one," says I. 44 My brother has got into a queer busi-
ness, and so I want to see him out ogia the law."—
" Oh," says he, "if that's all you want, do that."—
" %That'll you do it for ?" says I.—" Three pound tin
at a word," says he.—" That's a great 'dok," says 1;
but I'll do what I can." So I got a pound then, and
I gave it him afterwards; and then I got him twenty
shillings in silver,. and I promised to get him another
pound in six weeks atter. " But," says I, " who are we
to have for a Counsel ?"—" Ah ! I dare say now," says
he, " you want that Irish fellow, Phillips?"—" In-
deed I do," says I.—" 0! I'll get a great deal better
man than that for you." So I thought it was all right,
but when the trial came nn, the devil a Counsel I seen.
Gui/fll.—Judzment deferred.
