The Perjury Case

Tuexe can be no question that the crime of perjury has, in recent years, been on the | increase in our courts, and that the sentence

of five years imprisonment in the peniten-

tiary, inflicted upon the boy McTague, was calculated to impress perjurers and would- be perjurers with » wholesome dread of consequences. Every honest man must ap- plaud the strong language used by the Chief Justice in characterization of the unmanly crime of perjury. Bs

we have heard it doubted whether, in view of al! the circumstances, it was justifiable to inflict so heavy & punishment upon a crim- inal so young. While it is undoubtedly right that the law and public justice should be vindicated, and that offenders should be punished, care should be taken that a per- son comparatively innocent should not be made the scapegoat of others whose crimes are of a deeper dye. The facts in the Mc- Tague case are as follows; A man named Hennessey was charged before Stipendiary Magistrate Fitzgerald with a vivlation of the Lrd’s Day Act, and young McTague was sum:noned as @ witness. On his exam- inotion he detailed to the Magistrate the many twists and turns that had been re- sorted to by him to obtain the liquor,— how Hennessey had refused to directly sell it, and how a scheme was arranged by which the liquor was to be ploced in a cer- tain place and the money in another. The witness was then asked whether he had reason to believe that the liquor was ob- tained from Hennessey, and he replied that he had not. that Hennessey had said that he would get the the

liquor and send his boy with it, and perjury consisted intheanoswer above given.

There were, in all, two or three assignments

of perjury in the indictment; but whether or not the jary in- tended t» find the prisoner guilty on them all is net known, as the

learned judge—Mr. Justice Hensley -who tried the case, charged the jury that if they foand one assignment proved, they could fiod » verdict of guilty on the whole count. A motion was afterwards made to set the conviction aside on many grounds, some as to the form of the indictment, and others

that the learned Judge erred in charging

the jury as above-mentioned. It was urg- ed that it was not reasonable that an indictment could contain * large number of assignments of

perjury and prisoner guilty

the jury could find the of them all if one was proved, thereby shewing on the record a most terrible array of perjury while the jury might only have in reality found him guilty of a most trivai assignment; and it was also urged that it was the Magistrate's duty to have formed his own judgment on the facts proved, and not to have asked for the witnesses opinion. It was on this part of the argument that Attorney-General Peters gave expression to the doubts he entertained regarding the legality of the conviction. The court, however, decided that the con- viction was legal and passed the heavy sen- tence agains* which we have heard com- It is urged that in view of the fact that the boy made a clean breast of everything when a witness before the mag-

plaint.

istrate, in view of the fact that it was in the statement of the conclusion that he arrived at that he has been convicted of the crime, and in view of the doubts of the Attorney-General as to his conviction, bis sentence should have been lighter, and the heavy hand of the law been reserved for

more guilty criminals. Certainly, it must be admitted that tha lad was as much fool as knave who related all the facts of the purchase from Hennessey and then swore that he had no reason to believe that he bought the liquor from Hennessey. This fact

might hava been urged in mitigation of the sentence. But we failto see that there are degrees in perjury. The witness who makes oath to speak *‘ the truth, the whole

truth, and nothing but the truth,” and then swears falsely in the smallest particu- lar, is a8 much guilty of perjury as the witness who swears faisely in every par- ticular. The severity of the sentence of thescourt in this case may be called in question. But the deplorable fact that it is necessary to give perjurers and would. be-perjurers a lesson and a warning must be admitted.

Scheduling of Exported Cattle.’ Defence of Canada's Interests,

—_—

Orrawa, Nov. 4.

Communications feom the High Com- missioners of o‘fice have been received by the Imperial D-partment of Agriculture in the matter of the scheduling of Can- adian cattle; but grave fears are enter- tained here that this wil be the cuicome of the persistent pressure which is being brought tou bear on the veterinary auth- orities of the Imperial Government. Almost daily reports have been cabled to Sir Charles fupper by Mc. Carling, and the High C. mimissioner has been warmly aided in his representations by Sir John Abbott and Mr. Fuster. The department and veterinary staff insist that pleuro- pneumonia could not exist in Canada aod

the fact be unknown to the Canadien veterinaries. The ‘epwtment has had no fewer than clevin veterinary surgeons

employed investigating since Saturday last.

GRAVEYARD INSURANCE

Tricks of Reverend Raseals,

————

Sr. Joun, Nov. 4,

The graveyard insurance case drags its slow length along. Among the letters read yesterday was one from the prisoners to the wife of the insured man, solemnly affirming that her husband had been insured for only one thousand dollars, which money, they said, they had at great trouble and with great difficu'ty been able to collect. They suid that it woull be well to keep quiet about the matter, as, owing to the fact that the deceased had not an insurable life, she might lose the thousand dollars if she had any correspondence with the company. [hese letters are interesting in view of the fact that the deceased had $5,500 insurance —all of which the prisoners seem to have collected.

Next morning the number of union men that had gone out was estimated at 750. The walking delegates went from building to building, calling upon the men of their var- ious unions to go out on strike. It is said that there are 150,000 buildings on which strikes will be ordered. Monrreat, Nov. 2.—The Star cable says: London, Nov. 2.—Sir J. J. Abbott, Premier of Cauada, and Hon. George E.

News Notes.

A Chicago despatch says the loss to ship- ping by Saturday's storms on the lakes will reach $1,000,000.

It is interesting to note that colonial

joint stock banks have deposits in London amounting, by the last bank statement, to £178,000,000, while foreign banks have only £58,900,000. This is a good sign. Varying estimates of the number of Ro- man Catholics in England are often given. At the recent meeting of the Cuth lic Truth Society in Liverpoo', Rev. J, S. Vaughan stated that out of 29,000,000 of people in England hardly one and a hali millions professed to be Roman Catholics. The telephone has not yet penetrated everywhere. A few days ago it was an- nounced that Mr. Gladstone was just about to have Dewning S:reet ani the House of Commons connected, The other day it was said that President Harrison was hav- ing the White House and the State Depart- ment put in connection for the first time.
