It will be remembered that an appeal against the decision and an application for the roless of the wit- Dosses were und before the Chief Justice few weeks ago, but his Lordship dismissed the appeal.

Mr. Sharp-We are doubtful whether it would be prudent to adopt the course of taking the appeal straight to the Privy Council. As you know, objection might be taken by the Privy Council that we had not exhausted our focal remedies.

Mr. Sherp-You cannot exercise it. In that

The Chief Justice—I thought, you said I had no power to bring him here.
Mr. Sharp. Oh yes, you have power to bring
him here.
The Chief Justice-Supposing I could not bring him here for three months?
Mr. Sharp-Ithink was an agreed on that point-that your Lordship has power to send for him. Your Lordship takes the initial steps of expressing yourself on the subject of the perjury. One man is absent, and you send for isa. I certainly think that the proceedings

The Chief Jmatics then ferred to a nasa decided in 18:31, when Lord Brougham doalt with a case of what was called prevarication on the part of witnesses.

That jurisdiction was contained in section 31 of the Supretan Court Ordinance 1873, which stated that “it might be lawful for the Court to direct a prosecution" against a Mr. Sharp held that that decision had been person committing perjury or that the Court over-ruled by later judgments.

The Chief Justice- I thought you disposed to say before tint the words ware almost superfaeus.
Mr. Sharp-Oh, no. That in why we gavo your Lordship authorities under contempt. We have to rely, w fer as cases ge, on contempt, because for the very excellent reason that there is no jurisdiction as this in England na applied to perjury. We thought there might be such jurisdiction in India, but on looking we find
that there is not--at least we cannot find it.
The Chief Justice--There was a jurisdiction in England once upon a time.
The Chief Justice asked how this was to be carried out. Mir, Sharp could not put forward an argument file that without considering its practical result. If these men went into the box, who was to mill witnesses for the other side? How could the Couri try the ciss ?
Mr. Sharp said it might lead to a contrary decision, but if it was just, why shouldn't it !
Tho Chief Justico asked how were the state-
ments to be tested? Was the Court to do it?
Mr. Sharp replied that if a man wanted to call, say, Joha Smith in his defence, John Smith must be called.
The Chief Justice said Mr. Sharp's argument amounted to hearing one side only.
Mr. Sharp concuded his guinent by asking their Lordships to rescind the judgment under appesi oud to asks the order for which they

Mr. Pollock also addressed the Court. Ho said it was important boar in mind that the alternative power conferred by the section, the power to compit witnesses to prison, was en ulterative to the power of ordering s. prosecu fion to be iustilated for perjury, because it was fuir to infer that the alternative in ordinary principles would be applicable to the trial for perjury. He argued that they should have bien prosecuted for perjury and thus givoù in Hut as a opportunity to make u delen. matter of foot from witness they were con- verted into convicted persons without knowing the spec fio act with which they were nacaseil. For all they knew when called upon they might bare been called up for the purpose of being commended for the straightforward manner in which they gan their evidence.
