And courts which proceed according to the course of the civil and canon law, having neither of those attributes, are not courts of record, although they may keep a registry of their proceedings, and possess a seal.

The declarant must also mention his occupation, his ability to pursue it, the number and names of his family residing with him, their ages, and their capacity to contribute to their support, in order that the department may be enabled to decide whether the applicant is in such indigent circumstances as to be entitled to the pension. It is the opinion of the Attorney General, that the words of the third section of the act of the 1st of May, 1820, "in such indigent circumstances as to be unable to support himself without the assistance of his country," comprehend those only who are incapable of supporting themselves without the aid of the government, except by private or public charity.

The oath to be taken before a qualified magistrate, whose official character and signature must be properly authenticated.
If the pensioner has never received a formal certificate, but has drawn his pension on a mere notification, as was the case in a few

The pensioner's oath must be supported by the evidence of another person as to identity. 
The person must swear the he well knows him to be the same person described in the above affidavit. The magistrate must certify
that the deponent is a person of veracity. This oath must also be authenticated by the
the proper officer, under his seal of office, setting forth that the officer before whom the

Sir
The papers in the case of Catharine
Hood widow of Geary Hood have been examined
and filed under the act of 29 July 1848
Her husbands service for two years
as a Dragoon is admitted but before a certificate
can be issued to her she must file a declaration
made before a court of record or Judge of such
a court, and produce satisfactory new  evidence
of such can be obtaining of their marriage (illegible)
to 1800, no proof upon this point has been
offered.
The application of the children
of Ann Fenwick decd widow of Richard
Fenwick has been rejected. It appears
on the papers presented that she
died in
1830, she therefore could have no claim now
the law passed 29 July last. Children have
