LAW INTELLIGENCE.
' COUI?7' OF QUEEIV'S II NCH, July 3.
(Sittings at Westmi Special before Lord DENMAN and a
Jury.)

THE QUEEN V. CUTTS.

Mr. Knowles and Mr. Prentice appeared for the pro
secution, and Mr. Sergeant Shce and Mr. Bramwell for
the defence.

This was an indictment for perjury, alleged to have
been committed by the defendant in an answer to a bill
in Chancery, which answer he filed in the month of June,
1848. The circumstances of the case were these:-=The
defendant was an attorney and solicitor residing at Little
Bradfield Hall, in the county of Essex, and near his resi-
dence were situated certain lands, to which Edmund
Salmon (the prosecutor) and his brothers became en-
titled under the will of an uncle of theirs, named John
Smith. A part of this property was bought by, the
defendant at a sale by auction, which took place in 1545,
and for this part, which consisted of three fields adjoin-
ing the property of the defendant, he agreed to pay a
sum of 2.500/. In 1847, the transaction not having byes
completed, Joseph Salmon, one of the brothers, filed a bill
in Chancery against Mr. Cutts, to compel him to complete
circumstances in which he denied his liabihty,l,3_ll
