The oath of the justices, 18 Edw. 3, Stat. 4.--A.
D. 1344.
It appears by the proceedings of the legislature
in 1722, that considerable disputes arose between
the two houses respecting the oaths taken by the judges, in which, reference
was made to those taken
by the judges in England.
In the 36 laws read in 1638, there was one establishing
the form of the oath to be taken by judges.
In 1732, an act passed ascertaining the form of the oath of judge or justice,
(Ch. 5,) which remained
in force till the revolution; the preamble stating, that the oath of judge
or justice (appointed to be
taken, by the statute of the eighteenth of Edward the third,) did not,
in many particulars, provide for
the constitution of this province. For the oaths at present see the
act of February 1777, Ch. 5.
The oaths of the clerks of the chancery, and of the clerks of course,
18 Edw. 3, Stat. 5.--
A. D. 1344.
