oArHs IN ENGLISH COURTS,
1Tplifted Hands and Private Testaments
 Instead of the Much Kissed Book.

1rnIifted Hands and Private Testaments
 Instead of the Much Kissed Book
 If is not generally known that kissing inc Testament is not absolutely neces- sary to the swearing of witness III d court of justice. Thirteen years ago nar,ament sanctioned the introduction into thie country of the Scotch form which provides that witness may pc suorn with uplifted hand. Although this form of subscribing to the oath was introduced for the purpose Of over coming the susceptibilties of persons who believe that many infectious dis eases are spread by kissing the Iesta- n,ents in use in our police courts, it is verv seldom administered. As matter of fact. the Scotch form of oath IS not very much in favor with judges ana vma sistrates It is viewed with suspi- o;on because of it's non sacred charac- ter, and the opportunities it affords to persons who are not overscrupulous about telling the truth to commit perju- ry.
 l If is q matter of regret that there is | already far too much perjury in our courts of law, and it frequently hap
 pens that presiding magistrates are re- luctantly compelled to point out to Wit nesses the impressive nature of an oath l only the other day MT. Justice Phllll- more severely admonished a witness who was punctuating his replies to I counsel by banging the Testament on tAe ledge provided in the witness-hox His Lordship informed the witness thai the book he was handling with little re spect was sacred, and immediately gave
 instructions to the usher to remove | ont of the reach of the man.
 With regard to the suggestion tha' those whose duty it is to administer tht oath might be instructed to acquain the witnesses that they may be sWorf with uplifted hand, the result or lnqul Tries among London magistrates and DO lice court officials does not afford muct
 encouragement to those responsible fo | the idea There are very few eXcep lions to the general chorus of condem nation. Firstly, the proposed new forn
 of oath is not so impressive as that O
 kissing the Testament, and would b likely to encourage certain class O
