Appendix C(26) 1792 Report of Commissioners of Inquiry]

APPENDIX (C.) N° 26

THE OATH ADMINISTERED TO THE DEEMSTER SINCE THE REVESTMENT.

BY this Book, and by the holy contents thereof, and by the wonderful works that God hath miraculously wrought in heaven above and in the earth beneath in six davs and seven nights, I, Daniel Lace, do swear, that I will, without respect of favour or friendship, love or gain, consanguinity or affinity, envy or malice, execute the laws of this Isle justly betwixt our Sovereign Lord the King and his subjects within this Isle, and betwixt party and party, as indifferently as the Herring back-bone doth lie in the midst of the fish.

So help me God, and by the contents of this Book.

Examined by
JOHN QUAYLE, C.R.
