OATHs.-At late trial in Boston, on
charge of subornation of perjury, it was STAT
ed that in the police Court in that city oaths
were administered in SO hurried manner,
and in so low and indistinct tone, that nei-
Their by-standers nor witnesses could UNDER
stand or hear a word that was said. We be-
Iieve that this careless and irreverent mode
of administering oaths is one great cause of
the many perjuries which are committed in
this country. We have seen justices, with
their hats on, sit and administer oaths to sit
ting witnesses, who were chatting, laughing
and swearing at the same moment. If ma
gistrates administering an oath do not respect
and reverence it sufficiently to administer il
in distinct, serious, and emphatic manner,
the ignorant and the vicious, who often are
called to testify and hold up their hands.
