by Henry Cecil
in thirteen cases from his London County Court - Fact or Fiction?
with guest stars: , the 'log-and-dog man': 'Commit perjury for fifty nicker? Well - I've often told lies for nothing. But not here. Not in court. That's different. May my grandmother's soul rot in hell if I tell a lie here.'
John Westbrook as Mr. Faulkner, Counsel for Mr. Riley: 'All we say is that whether or not Mr. Morris had a watch on him when Mr. Riley struck him, it was not this watch here that was damaged.'
So one of the parties was committing perjury.

on mil inausiriai Striye nuin us :
What can we do about the endless strikes in practically every industry in Britain? Can labour contracts be enforced? Must the ' freedom to strike' always be one of the main planks of union policy? Must we have strikes with everything or is there any chance of future industrial enlightenment which could move us towards prosperity?
