Yesterday
The Whakatutu perjury case was terminated to-day. -Mr Hay, in addressing the Court for the defence, »rgued that the evidence of the prisoner in the forcible entry case against Walker and others was immaterial to the issue, and being so he was not guilty of perjury, but merely of telling lies. He quoted several cases in support of his argument, concluding with an opinion that a Grand Jury would ridicule the committal. The' Bench considered the materiality of the evidence a point for the Supreme Court to decide, as contended by Mr W bitaker, and committed the accused to the next sitting of the Supreme Court.
