no difference whatever in material or

Perjury Penalties.

Perjury, besides being one Of the
Oldest of offenses in the catalogue of
crime, has always been very severely
punished. With the advance of ciyili-
cation. however. fendish punishments
have been replaced by more humane if
still severe penalties. Ia the days Of
the Roman empire any one who COM
mitted perjury was thrown from a
precipice, while the Greeks branded
their false swearers. 1t is interesting
to note that when the latter embraced
the Christian religion the punishment
was altered to that of having the
tongue cut out, sort Of punishment
which was considered to fit the crime
in the early centuries. In the middle
ages some countries adopted the sys.
tenn of giving the perjurer the punish
ment for the crime he falsely accused
another of. Thus if he swore a neigh.
Dor had committed murder and the
charge was disproved the perjurer
would be sentenced to death, and the
other penalties of the penal code were
exacted for the particular crime al
legged.
