There is one section, clause 10, which dons not appear in the English Act, but that is mealy a copy of the our Evidence existing section in Ordinance. It provides that where Witam wilfully makes two cop tradictory statements ho can be oharged with porjary without the Crown having to prove the falsity of either of the statements. One other point in which the Bill differs from the English Act is that it omits certain provisions which have an extra- territorial effect. Parliament can legislate extra territorially but we COD- not. Otherwise the Bill is practically #copy of the English Act.
