Swearing Witnesses in Japan.
A Japanese journal, describing the
manner in which witne-'sesare sworn
and evidence taken in native courts
of justice, says that with the Japan
ese anything to which a m in affixes
his seal is more sacred than what he
may sav. Hence each witness is re
quired to make declaration to the
effect that with a mind free from bia*
in favor or against cither of the liti
gating parlies, and with perfect fair
ness, he will give eudenee, and af
ter thi* has been read out by the Re
corder of’ the e nut and handed to
the witness in ihe lorui of a docu
ment. the latter i expected to affix
his seal to it. The same plan is
adopted with the statement ol facts
which, in the course of examination
lie undergoes a witness makes in
court. The purport of his evidence
is written out by the Recorder, and
before leaving the court room lie is
required to make what corrections
arc necessary to render the wri ten
tsatement a trustworthy reoc.ord of
his evidence and to guarantee its
correctness by affixing his seal.
Though this process occupies a good
deal of time, it precludes the possi
bility of the evidence given being in
correctly reported, which, in trials
where (lie decisi m of the court de
pends largely on ora1 evidence, is a
matter of much moment.—London

to meet ultimate needs. It is proposed
to increase the rolling stock to ut least
2,500 cars.
