to each, and they successively took their places at the
table, and lastly, Mr. FAWKENER and Sir STErnsqi
COTTERELL took their seats as Clerk and Keeper of

the Records.
The PRINcE then spoke to the following effect :
MY LORDS.---I understand, that by the Act
passed by the Parliament appointing me Regent of
the United Kingdom, in the name and on behalf of
his Majesty, I am required to take certain oaths, and
to make a declaration before your LOrdships, as pre-
scribed by the said Act. I am now ready to take
these oaths, and to make the declaration prescribed."
The Lord Privy Seal then rose, made his reve-
rence, approached the Regent, and read from a parch-
ment the oaths, as follow, 'the Prince with an audible
voice pronouncing after him :
" I do sincerely promise and swear, that I will be
fai.hful and bear true allegiance to his Majesty King
George. So help me GOD."
a I do solemnly promise and swear, that I will truly
and faithfully execute the office of Regent of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, ac-
cording to sin Act of Parliament passed in the 51st
year of his Majesty King George 111. intituled, an
Act to provide for the care of his Majesty's Royal
Person, and for the Administration of the Royal
Authority, during the continuance of his Majesty's

the power and authority vested in me by virtue of the
• said Act ; and that I will in all things, to the utmost
of my power and ability, consult and maintain the
safety, honour, aid dignity of his Majesty, and the
welfare of his People. So help me Gon."
And the PRINCE subscribed the two oaths. The'
Lord President then presented to his Royal Highness
the Declaration mentioned in an Act made in the
30th year of King Charles 11. intitled ,s An Act for
the more effectual preserving the King's person and
Government, by disabling Papists from sitting in
either House of Parliament," and which Declaration

scribed. The Lord President signed first, and every
one of the Privy Councillors in succession signed
these instruments as witnesses—and the same was de-
