CHARGE OF PERJURY. Wellington, August 26.
The Premier, who was in Courfc, was recalled, no objection being taken to the fact that he had heard the evidence of the other witnesses. He said the bandbox was not in the same state aa when he received it, but he had not noticed it when first giving evidence. He could nob explain how it came to be cut. He had inquired about it, but found oub nothing. The exhibits had been kept locked in the Cabinet-room till Chemis' fate was settled, but were not locked up after that. Mr Jellicoe asked whether the witness heard Mr Bell accuse Mrs Chemis of cutting pieces off the box. Mr Bell said it was untrue, false and wrong to say he suggested any such thing. Mr Jellicoe said he had a shorthand note of what Mr Bell said, aud this proved who was false. Mr Graham said he had already ruled that questions could not be asked on this point, and he would not allow the matter to proceed any further. The Premier was nob examined further except that he received seven butlets in an envelope, bub was nob quite sure of the number.
