Per Curiam :

The crime of perjury is sufficiently charged in the indictment. The evidence of which complaint is made was not to prove distinct offenses committed on a former trial for another crime or offense, but of certain acts committed by the defendant below, intended to thwart and prevent a conviction of the particular crime charged in this indictment. It was dearly admissible.

Judgment affirmed.
