An Act to allow AflSnnations or Declarations to be made instead of Oaths in all Civil and Criminal Proceedings in Scotland, [7th April 1865.]
HEREAS Doubts have arisen whether the Provisions of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth of Victoria^ Chapter
* Twenty-five, intituled An Act to allow Affirmations or Decla- ^ rations to be made instead of Oaths in certain Cases in Scot-
* land, be applicable to all Courts of Civil Judicature, and to nil
* Civil Proceedings : And whereas the Relief afforded by that
* Act to Persons refusing or being unwilling from conscientious
* Motives to be sworn in Courts of Civil Judicature has since
* been extended to all Courts of Criminal Jurisdiction, and to all
* Criminal Proceedings, by the Twenty-sixth and Twenty-seventh
* of Victoria^ Chapter Eighty-five ; and it is desirable to remove
* such Doubts, and to make the Law as to Afiirmations unifoim
* for all Courts and for all Proceedings, whether Civil or Crimi-
* nal :' Be it therefore enacted by the Queen's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the Advice and Consent of the LcMtls Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the Authority of the same, as follows :
1» The said recited A.cts shall be and the same are hereby repealed.
2. If any Person called as a Witness In any Court of Civil or Criminal Jurisdiction in Scotland^ or required or desiring to make an Affidavit or Deposition in the Course of any Proceeding, or in any Matter, whether Civil or Criminal, shall refuse or be unwilling from alleged conscientious Motives to be sworn, it shall be lawful for the Court or Judge, or other presiding Officer or Person qualified to take Affidavits or Depositions, upon being satisfied of the Sincerity of such Objection, to permit such Person, instead of being sworn, to make his or her solenm Affirmation or Declaration in the Words following :
* T A,B, do solemnly, sincerely, and truly affirm and declai^e,
* That the taking of any Oath is, according to my Religious
* Belief, unlawful ; and I do also solemnly, sincerely, and truly
* affirm and declare, S^c*
Which solemn Affirmation and Declaration shall be of the same Force and Effect as if such Person had taken an Oath in the usual Form.
3. If any Person making such solemn Affirmation or Declara- tion shall wilfully, falsely, and corruptly affirm or declare any Matter or Thing which, if the same had been sworn in the usual Form, would have amounted to wilful and corrupt Perjury, every such Person so offending shall incur the same Penalties as by the Laws and Statutes of this Kingdom are or may be enacted or provided against Persons convicted of wilful and corrupt Perjury,
