The case set up by the deforce was that the defendant chopped a promis sory note under the impression that it was -- a iste for $100 in renewal of a promissory- note for 8100 once made by his now decess. odmother to Mana Singh. His Lordship was of opinion that actual fraud had been com- mitted by Mana Singh, and Sunder Singh was a pasty to the plot. He intended to oxercise the pnwers conferred by Section 23 of Ordinanec 12 of 1898, and comunitted Sunder Singh and Maan Singh to prison for three months, with bard labour, for con- tempt of court. A Chinese clark who was also in the plot was only saved the same Inte because thero was not enough evidence to justify an information for perjury.
