Ramsdell, J.
The offense of perjury is complete as soon as the witness falsely testifying is discharged, and the People need not wait until the materiality of the false testimony is determined by the Court trying the case, before filing their information.
The materiality of the false testimony must be determined by the Court trying the perjury suit.
It is not necessary to set forth the pleadings in the information, the allegation that the question was material to the issue is sufficient, and being a necessary ingredient in the charge, must be proved on the trial.
