'HE CHARGE OF PERJURY ARISING OUT
OF THE BRIDGWATER BRIBERY
INQUIRY.

SATURDAY.

William Heal, described as a manager of a brick ground
at Durston, Somersetshire, was again brought before Sir
Thomas Henry, who sat specially to hear the case, charged
on remand with having committed wilful and corrupt
perjury before the Select Committee of the House
of Commons in April, 1868. —Mr. Poland, instructed by
Solicitor to the Treasury, prosecuted, and Mr. Cole
defended.

The -evidence adduced on the present occasion was
chiefly in reference to the identification of the
defendant. The shorthand writers who were ex-
amined on the last examination produced their notes
of the defendant's evidence both on the occasion at West-
minster in 1868, when he declared on oath that he had not
been guilty of bribery at the Bridgewater election, and at
the inquiry into the existence of corrupt practices at
Bridgwater in August last year, when he declared that
what he had stated to the commissioners at Westminster
was false, and that he had a reason for doing so. He
was committed for trial, the magistrate consenting to
accept bail—two sureties in £5OO each and defendant's
own recognisances of £l,OOO.

THE MORDAUNT DIVORCE CASE.
We understand that the learned judges who heard the
appeal in the case of Mordaunt v. Mordaunt—the Lord
Chief Baron, Lord Penzance, and Mr. Justice Keating—
have had several consultations, and that their judgment
are almost, if not quite, prepared. It is expected, how-
ever, that the decision will not be given until the com-
mencement of next term.
