THE PERJURY CASE. LEGAL ARGUMENT AT FULL COURT.

The Chief Justice (Bir Wm. Ross Davies, K. C.) and My Justice Gompertz wat in Full Court yesterday to hear legal Ergument on points raised by the counsel for the defence in the perjury case.

Mr. H. E, Pollock, K.Ü., representing

dofendant, submitted that upon the find ings of the jury in the case the defendant The do was entitled to be discharged, tence submitted that upon the particular indictment as drawn in this case there was only one single assignment of per jury. Therefore there was practically one collective count covering various

matters that in order for there to be a

verdict of guilty on this assignment there must be on raverse finding of the jury upon all of the item, included in the

assignment, whereas a verdict of guilty had been given on the first three of the six counts only. If he were correct in his submission that this was one assign ment, then they were partly guilty and partly not guilty, which would amount in law to a verdict of acquittal.

Mr. Potter (for tho prosecution) said it had been agreed all through to treat them as separate counts, and that was the way the matter was to be left to the jury.

Mr. Pollock said he did not dispute bis friend's contention, but he had dis- covered this point since, and he regarded He it as a perfectly good objection. did not purposely lie in wait to catch. the Crown on this, point.

The Court decided against Mr. Pollock, and defendant was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment, with such hard labour as he should be found capable of performing.

Counsel for the defence intimated that application would be made for leave to appeal to the Privy Council,

That he vacates his post in a fow days and proceeds to Peking for higher appointment is a matter for regret to all in Shanghai, Chinese and fereigners alike, for he quickly grasped the situation here and with marked ability and genial good nature brought about much better relations between Chinese and foreign authorities time long then bad existed for previously.

One of the secrets of his success has been his ability to realize that Shanghai is vital interests ore commerce and trade, essentially a commercial centre, that its and that the real solution of many of the problems which faced him when he took up his post was to be found in the adjustment.
