- The following 2 printed items, apparently relating to no. 2886, mention this measure.
The case of the people called Quakers, humbly presented to the Parliament of Ireland, respecting the sufferings they labour under, because for conscience-sake they cannot swear, desiring to be eas'd by a solemn affirmation. [Dublin?, 1723?]. [ESTCN68565] Photo on file.
'Wherefore for relief in the aforesaid matters, and others too tedious to mention, we humbly desire and request, you will please to grant us a Solemn Affirmation in like terms of a clause, which it pleased the parliament here in the year, 1709. in our favour to insert in a Bill against Frauds &c. committed by Bankrupts in the following words, viz.
I A.B. do sincerely and truly declare, that I will true answer make to all such questions, as shall be demanded of me in the present case, and that I will speak the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, according to the best of my knowledge and belief.
Which bill came back from England confirmed; but for some reasons passed not into a law here, though not in dislike of our clause.'
The case of the people call'd Quakers, humbly presented to the Parliament of Ireland, respecting the sufferings they labour under, because for conscience sake they cannot swear, desiring to be eas'd by a solemn affirmation. [Dublin?, 1723?]. [ESTCT203067] In ECCO. Gale Document Number
