Advices from Windhoek, in Africa, state that Baron Von Waechten, a Government official, was sentenced to sixteen and a-half months' imprisonment on a charge of perjury. He denied the authorship of anonymous letters produced at a trial whereat Von Roy, a journalist, was convicted and sentenced to a term of imprisonment.
