In the past, in the year 1862 what happened in the courtroom?

2
00:00:17,002 --> 00:00:24,005
At that time it was decided that in court “Deaf and Dumb” (sic) and other people

3
00:00:24,007 --> 00:00:25,040
who spoke languages other than English,

4
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:29,077
for example here we speak English, but people coming here from France,

5
00:00:29,077 --> 00:00:35,040
they must have interpreters for courtroom discussions and information.

6
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:39,054
Deaf and foreign people had to swear in, yes,

7
00:00:39,054 --> 00:00:46,002
but interpreters also had their own separate Oath to swear.

8
00:00:46,002 --> 00:00:48,006
They had to swear the following:

9
00:00:48,006 --> 00:00:56,008
“I Shall truthfully and formally convey true evidence in court

10
00:00:56,008 --> 00:00:59,011
and deal with one and deal with the court

11
00:00:59,011 --> 00:01:05,002
in the right language of the person, so help me God.”

12
00:01:05,002 --> 00:01:11,039
Wow! For 1862, for that time, it was progressive!

13
00:01:18,027 --> 00:01:21,018
(according to the best of your skill and ability, so help you God.)
