Lawyer Julian Hall will face prosecution in Supreme Court after Acting Senior Magistrate Carlisle Greaves ruled yesterday there was enough evidence to proceed with a charge of stealing more than half a million dollars.

Mr. Hall of Foothills Road, Devonshire, is charged with stealing $551,044 from Betty McMahon between November 1995 and February 1996, while he held the power of attorney to her estate.

Hall was given $100,000 bail with two like sureties to reappear for arraignments on August 5. Travel restrictions were lifted allowing Hall to go overseas for work until his trial comes up.

Hall was represented by Delroy Duncan while the prosecution was led by Crown counsel Vinette Graham-Allen.
