Where a party sought to allege that a decision of the House had been obtained by the other party having presented perjured evidence, the correct remedy was not to petition the House direct for this purpose. Such a case would involve investigation of the facts for which the House was not an appropriate forum. The case should proceed by way of a fresh court action entirely.
