HOSPITAL WARDER
CHARGED WITH PERJURY. (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, March 23. An echo of the Porirua Mental Hospital case, in which an attendant was found guilty of an assault on a patient, was heard in the Magistrate’s Court, when William Worsley, aged 26, who was one of the witnesses for the defence, was charged with having committed perjury during the course of his evidence. It was alleged that Worsley falsely asserted, as a matter of fact, that he saw a fight between two patients in the Hospital yard when such assertion was known by him to be false, and that it was intended to mislead the Judge and jury. On the application of Chief Detective Ward, Worsley, for whom Mx' W. E. Leicestex- appeared, was remanded until April 11, bail being allowed in accused’s own bond of £250, and one surety of £250, or two sureties of £125 each.
