“And we make this solemn declaration conscientiously, believing the
same to be true, and by virtue of the provisions of an Act made and
passed in the sixth year of the reign of his late Majesty, entitled “An
Act to repeal an Act of the present Session of Parliament, entitled
an Act for the more effectual abolition of oath and affirmations,
taken and made in various departments of the State, and to substitute
declarations in lieu thereof, and for the more entire suppression of
voluntary and extra-judicial oaths and affidavits, and to make other
provisions for the abolition of unnecessary oaths.” Severally declared
and subscribed at Liverpool aforesaid the tenth day of January, one
thousand eight hundred and seventy-seven.”
