By statute , the Chief Justice of New Brunswick is sworn or affirmed into office by the Lieutenant-Governor , administers the oath or affirmation of office to the Chief Justice of the Court of Queen ’ s Bench and to the other justices of the Court of Appeal , and has rank and precedence over all other judges of the courts of the Province . My responsibility and the reason that I 'm here is that I am a New Jersey State Senator , and I took an oath of office and my oath of office specifically does not teach you the scriptures or anything else but to protect the people of the State of New Jersey . For thus that king violated that oath , which he ought most religiously to have sworn to ; but that he might not seem openly and publicly to violate it , he craftily adulterated and corrupted it ; and lest he himself should be accounted perjured , he turned the very oath into a perjury . But if a man will not conform to this rule , let the law be as follows : - He who sells anything in the agora shall not ask two prices for that which he sells , but he shall ask one price , and if he do not obtain this , he shall take away his goods ; and on that day he shall not value them either at more or less ; and there shall be no praising of any goods , or oath taken about them . If your Honor would like to hear about it for instruction and guidance of your Honor 's mind , this unfortunate man , my client , will consent to give himself the pain of relating it under oath .
