by THE COUNSELLOR.

Being the only person present at an
alteration between two men as a re-
suit of which one of the men was
killed, Henry Jones was an important
witness for the State.
At the preliminary hearing before the
magistrate Jones testified that Smith.
the survivor. had kicked the deceased.
causing him to fall against sharp
ledge, as a result of which his skull was
fractured Smith denied the charge.
but on Jones testimony ne was held
for further actin.
His indictment followed and there
after he was placed on trial for MUIR
der. The attorney for the State felt
confident of a verdict OF guilty. but
when Jones was placed on the stand
he testified that the deceased had trip
ped over a coat and had fallen against
a sharp ledge. and that Smith had
not kicked or struck the deceased.
Smith was found not guilty, but the
States attorney sought TO charge Jones
with perjury. showing that he had testi-
fed falsely on one Of the two occa-
sons.
The court. however. would not en-
tertain the charge. explaining the law
as follows:
1T Is now well established that a
conviction Of perjury cannot be had
upon proof alone that the accused
made contradictory statements. The
State must prove which of the two
statements is false and must show the
statement which is made the basis OF
the prejury charge TO be false by other
evidence than the contradictory state
ment."
