Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Oath — Properly Administered. The evidence held sufficient to support a finding of the administration of an oath.</p> <p>2. False Affidavit — To Procure Marriage Certificate. Under the statute making it a misdemeanor to swear falsely in an affidavit that the persons for whom a marriage certificate is asked are of lawful age, a conviction may be had, notwithstanding the affiant did not know his statement to be untrue. In order that the maker of a false affidavit in that connection may be protected from prosecution by reason of a mistake on his part, he must, while acting in good faith and upon reasonable grounds, have believed the facts to be as he stated them.</p>
