The Lords, upon report of the Lord Bowhill, found that Peers ought to give their word of honour only instead of an oath of calumny; but that they should depone in common form, where things are referred to their oaths of verity; because no probation by oaths of verity takes place in England, where a Peer's word of honour doth pass for an oath.
Fol. Dic. v. 2. p. 53. Forbes, p. 494.
