THE SHARE PERJURY CASE, Ir has been a matter of current belief in the colony for some considerable time past that the administration of public' justice in our law courts has been seriously impeded by a wide spread indulgence in perjury which has become the rule rather than the exception in a certain class of cases that have within the last few months occupied a good deal of attention. But the climax was reached on Friday last, in the share dealing case BRANDT, WONG LAI SHING, when Acting Chief Justice FIELDING CLARKI, in summing up, plainly stated that he was compelled to arrive at the conclusion either that the plaintiff had been guilty of gross perjury, or that he was the victim of a fraudulent and wicked conspiracy on the part of the defendant and his witnesses. And no other opinion could reasonably have been come to. the assertions on oath of the opposing parties in the witness-box leaving no room for doubt that one side or the other had determined to win, If hard swearing could do it.

Again, it is difficult to understand what interest, what inducement the witnesses for the delence could have had in entering into the vile conspiracy so plainly indicated by the Judge's summing up. So far as the evidence shows, neither Mr. SAMURL nor Mr. RAMJAN had anything to gain by the success of the defendant, and it is surely impossible to believe that they woulddare so much to gratify petty spite against the plaintiff! However, without attempting to question the accuracy of the verdict arrived at, we cannot but regret that the Acting Chief Justice did not see his way to take further action in vindication of public justice, after his very strong expression of opinion that deliberate perjury had been committed.
