Such claimant may file in the office of the clerk of the Superior Court in the county where such attorney resides, a motion
in writing under oath setting forth the facts. Thereupon any Justice of the Superior Court shall issue an order requiring
the attorney to appear on a day fixed and show cause why he should not so account and pay, and to abide the order of such
justice in the premises, which shall be served by copy in hand at least 5 days before the return day.
