Observations on §. 3.
This power of examining on oath seems indespensable
[to the due execution of the functions committed
to the Board.]
Persons subjected who have incurred
forfeitures or other penalties, and more expecially
persons whose licence has been forfeited or appears in
danger of being forfeited, will be applying to the Board

the securing of veracity in occa judicial and other
other occasions be not employd here, falsehood
will reign without controul, and while the audacious
escape by that means the fate they merit, the consideration

will fail of obtaining the credit which is thus

As far as persons standing in this predicament are

to be examined: may since the hopes of exempting
himself from the penalty will be his inducement,
and that an adequate one for submitting to the
examination. But this will not always apply
to the case of witnesses, expecially to witnesses
on the accessory side.
The necessity of such a power will be the more
particularly apparent, if (as proposed by the Committee)

a part of the business of this Board. It would be a
sad incongruity, if matters of such importance as the
