I think it clear that they had been, and were perfectly aware of them. The sale issue before the jury was as to whether Wong Ka Cheung was a partner in the Lai Hing Bank or not. evidence was to the effect that he was, and the The Chief Justice jury found that he was not. fand that in supporting the contention that he was a partner they had perjured themselves which was the matter of point at issue, it may be that some of them did not go as far as others, but the material fact is that they gave evidence in support of one material fact com posed of several minor instances, and as their evidence on that fact was found to be false they were committed (be the decision right or I therefore think that the appellants wrong).
