CHARGE OF PERJURY.

John Yates surrendered to an indictment charging him
with having committed wilful and corrupt perjury.

In June last a person named Benjamin Everett, residing
in Bethnal-green, was apprehended and tried at this court
for receiving 22 skins and 129 pairs of boots and shoes, part
of a larger quantity of property stolen from the premises of
Mr. Shelton, of Bow. At the trial Yates (the defendant)
was one of the witnesses, and swore that he took the pro-
perty to Everett and sold it. The result was that Everett was
found guilty, and sentenced to 15 years' penal servitude,
he protesting at the time that he had been innocently con-
victed. Application was then made to the judge for leave
to bring an indictment for perjury against Yates, and afh•
davits having been forwarded to the Home-office, the pre-
sent proceedings were the result.
Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. Sleigh appeared for Everett,
and Mr. itibton and Mr. Orridge for the defendant.
After a very effective opening speech by the learned
sergeant, Everett was brought into court hancuffed, and,
in answer to questions from his counsel, most solemnly
denied that he had ever acted in the manner Yates had
sworn he had done.

-
Mr. Ribton then minutely cross-examined Everett as to
his antecedents.

The case was proceeding when we went to press.

NEW COURT.

The Common Sergeant was- occupied the whole of the
morning in disposing of several cases, none of which pos-
sessed the slightest interest.
