COMMITTED FOR TRIAL
ALLEGED FALSE STATEMENT IN COURT.
(Per United Press Association.)
Dannevirke, February 8.
Arising out of a recent civil action, James Humphrey, a painter and labourer, was committed for trial at the Supreme Court, charged with making a statement knowing it to be false and intended to mislead the Court.
Accused alleged that he had made two payments of £5O each in connection with a building contract and that a friend of his was present when the second £5O was paid. This was denied by the said friend who said accused had asked him prior to the civil action to swear that he saw accused paying £5O in notes for which he received a receipt. The friend had declined to do this as it would have been false.
