Syllabus

<p>Perjury—Evidence—Charge oe the Court.—It was not error to permit the State in a trial for perjury, to read in evidence the complaint filed in the cause upon the trial of which the perjury was alleged to have been committed, inasmuch as such evidence was competent to prove that the alleged false statements were made in the judicial proceeding and before the court alleged in the indictment, but, having admitted such evidence, the trial court, in its charge, should have limited its effect to such purpose only.</p>
