An act to alter such parts of the Declaration of Rights, the Constitution and Form of Government as relate to the administration of Oaths in certain cases. Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland, That all persons professing the Christian religion, who hold it unlawful to take an oath on any occasion, shall be allowed to make their solemn affirmation, in the same manner that Quakers have heretofore been allowed to affirm, which affirmation shall be of the same avail as an oath to all intents and purposes whatever. 2. And be it enacted, That before any such person shall be admitted as a witness or juror in any court of justice in this state, the court shall be satisfied, by competent testimony, that such person is conscientiously scrupulous of taking an oath. |
