An  affidavit  to  a  petition  under  the  Insolvent  Debtors'  Act  need  not  expressly
allege  that  the  defendant  had  resided  for  six  months  within  the  district  of  the
county  court.     Walker  v.  The  Queen,  xcii.  439  ;  8  E.  &  B.  439.
And  an  indictment  for  perjury,  founded  upon  such  an  affidavit,  sufficiently
shows  the  jurisdiction  of  the  court.     Ibid.
To  constitute  perjury  in  a  cause  the  proceeding  must  not  be  coram  nonjudice.
Regina  v.  Pearce,  cxiii.  531  ;  3  B.  &  S.  531.
In  a  proceeding  under  15  &  16  Vict.  c.  72,  where  judge  inserted  husband's  name
without  power  to  do  so,  it  was  not  perjury  for  defendant  to  swear  falsely.     Ibid.
It  seems,  that  false  swearing,  under  Naval  Discipline  Act,  1861,  24  &  25  Vict.
c.  115,  s.  57,  before  court  martial,  is  perjury.  Regina  v.  Heane,  cxvi.  947 ;  4  B.
&  S.  947.
But,  quaere,  whether  under  22  &  23  Vict.  c.  17,  s.  1,  an  indictment  for  such
offence  is  proper.     Ibid.
After  plea  to  indictment,  a  motion  to  quash  will  be  entertained  if  there  be  a
want  of  jurisdiction  made  apparent.     Ibid.
XII.  Piracy.-

Piracy,  under  6  &  7  Vict.  c.  76,  giving  effect  to  the  extradition  treaty  of  Au-
gust 9  th  1842  with  the  United  States,  is  confined  to  piracy  within  the  peculiar
jurisdiction  of  the  United  States.     la  re  Tivnan,  cxvh.  645;  5  B.  &  S.  645.
XIII.  Restitution.
A  judge  has  no  power  to  order  the  disposal  of  goods  in  the  possession  of  a  felon
not  belonging  to  the  prosecutor.  Regina  v.  Corporation  of  London,  xcvi.  509 ;
E.,  B.  &  E.  509.
XIV.  Threats.
Threats  against  workman  under  6  Geo.  4,  c.  129,  s.  3.  O'Neill  v.  Longman,
cxvi.  376  ;  4  B.  &  S.  376.
