HIS Excellency the Governor has been pleased to direct the publication of the general objects of the two following Bills, now under the consideration of the Legislative Council.
By His Excellency’s Command,
ALEXANDER M’LEAY.
1. “A Bill to abolish certain Oaths and Affirmations taken and made in the Customs Department of His Majesty’s Revenue of New South Wales, and to substitute Declarations in lieu thereof.”
In consequence of the numerous oaths which have been required by the laws relating to the Customs, the reverence and respect which should attach to such solemn obligations have been weakened, and their binding force not duly regarded; it is therefore proposed to assimilate the Laws of this Colony to those recently passed in that respect in England, by providing that, in all cases in which an oath or affirmation is required by any law or ordinance relating to the Customs, a declaration shall be made instead thereof, subject to a penalty of One hundred Pounds if such declaration shall be untrue in any particular.
Not to extend to Oaths of Office, or in Judicial proceedings.
The Collector or Controller of Customs to be empowered to require a written declaration, in any case where a confirmation of any statement or allegation is deemed necessary.
2. “A Bill to continue for two years an Act of the Governor, with the Advice of the Legislative Council, passed in the eleventh year of the reign of His late Majesty, intituled ‘An Act for regulating the Slaughtering of Cattle, and for preventing the improper driving of the same through the Streets of Sydney, and for other purposes.’”
As the above recited Act will expire on the thirty-first day of May next, it is proposed to renew the same for two years.
