LAW IN THE NEWS
Main Purposeofon Oath
Isto Witness on Spot

Iligious observation by which a
person renowned the mercy and
limprecated the vengeance Of
Heaven if he did not speak the
truth"
These quotes are from old legal
decisions.
From them, it is easy to see
how q witness came to believe,
truly, that he would be struck
dead by lightning il he lied--or
that his family would be visited
by the plague or his house burned
about him in the night. In short.
he was a lead-pipe cinch to have
something dreadful happen to
him in the very near future.
Conversely. il a witness told
the truth. the belief was that
his inquisitors might plunge him
into boiling oil and he would
come out unframed, such was
the power Of honor. Occasion
ally, this test was actually APP
piled to the person under oath;
and. OF course, the results gen.
orally proved that the poor fell
low had been liar after all.
None Of this is to suggest in
any way that most witnesses or
officeholders who take an oath
today do not feel a moral, as
well as a legal, obligation to be
truthful or to conduct themselves
according to law.
The point is merely that the
awful power Of the early-day
oath no longer exists.
