^{page 490 note 9} The penalty for perjury and kindred offenses under the British Perjury Act is seven years penal servitude or imprisonment with or without hard labor for not exceeding two years or a fine, or to both such penal servitude or imprisonment and fine. Under the United States Code, perjury may be punished by imprisonment for not more than five years and a fine of not more than $2,000; knowingly making false statements in an application for permission to depart from the United States is punishable by imprisonment for not more than twenty years or a fine of not more than $10,000, or both. Probably the greater penalty attaching to the last-mentioned offense was taken into consideration in determining under which section of the United States Code Eisler was to be indicted.
