Not Bound to Kiss the Bible.

The Court Of Ohancery In New Jersey
has just rendered an opinion holding
that q witness in that State who sweari
by the Bible is not bound TO kiss the
book. A woman when sworn had laid
her hand on the Bible, but refused to
kiss 1t. The only reason she gave for
the refusal WAS that she had "nsver
kissed the book" She was allowed by
the Master to testify, bat motion was
subsequently made to strike out her
testimony. Hers Is the law as laid
down by Vice Chancellor Bird:
Almighty God, or the Ever Living
God, or the like, is called upon by the
witness to witness that he will speak
the truth. The rest Is form. The solemn
Invocation, affirmation or declaration
la the substance. All else Is shadow.
The witness In this case was worn
with her hand upon the book. There
10 no doubt but that II she made false
statement wilfully she is liable to an
indictment for perjury.
But is said that this may be true and
yet conscience of the witness not be
bound, which is the object of the oath
There Is great force in this. How did
the witness herself regard 1t? She IL
presumably witness, for nothing tc
the contrary appears. She accepted the
form Of the oath as usually admins
tered, without objections, except kissin 6
the Bible. By this act on her part the
Court is justified In presuminR, without
further. inquiry, that the witness In
tended that her conscience should bt
bound. Speaking from the forum o.
her conscience, she declared that it wa,
not essential to kiss the book in order
TO impose upon herself all the obli'
cations Of an oath.
