Execution of a sentence against a witness found guilty of prevarication being appointed within eight days, the time limited by the act, 3tio Geo. II.; some were for appointing a new day, others were for remitting the sentence, and thought we could not appoint a new day; others thought we could not do either; at last we found the sentence could not be executed, and discharged the Magistrates from executing it.
