  1. Declarant

    Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 A declarant , generally speaking, is anyone who composes and signature signs a wikt statement statement or Wiktionary declaration declaration alleging that the information he has given therein is truth true . This differs from an affiant, as in the case of an affidavit the facts therein are oath sworn to before an notary public or other official, whereas a declaration is usually made by one person for the use of another. Uttering a statement or declaration which is proven to be false is a crime in many jurisdictions, though usually a separate offence from perjury . The word declarant, when discussing the hearsay rule and its exceptions, refers to the person who makes an out of court statement. For example, if John is on the witness stand and says Mary said that she was afraid. Mary is the declarant, not John. This concept is important in understanding many applications of the hearsay rule and its exceptions. Category Legal terms Category Evidence law Law term stub ...   more details

It was a requirement that an affidavit be sworn in front of a Justice of the Peace usually by a relative of the deceased or some other credible person confirming burial in wool, with the punishment of a 5 fee for noncompliance. Parish registers were marked with the word affidavit or with a note A or Aff against the burial entries to confirm that affidavit had been sworn, or marked naked for those too poor to afford the woollen shroud. Some affidavits survive. This legislation was in force until 1814, but was generally ignored after 1770.

Others were Bildad Kaggia , Kung u Karumba , Fred Kubai , Paul Ngei , Achieng Oneko . The Six were arrested in 1952, and tried in 1952 53 for the offence of managing Mau Mau , then a proscribed society. Macharia testified that in March 1950, he had taken one of the Mau Mau oaths at Kenyatta s hands. He further claimed that the oath taking involved stripping naked and drinking human blood. ref See p. 1 of The Roots of the Fig Tree ref Macharia s submissions were the only evidence of a direct link between Kenyatta and Mau Mau produced before the court. Mau Mau was proscribed in August 1950, so, even had the claims been true, it is unclear that they proved Kenyatta s membership, let alone management, of a proscribed organisation. In 1958, Macharia swore an affidavit to the effect that he and six others had perjured themselves at the trial. The prosecution witnesses, he claimed, had been coached, and some of them were rewarded with plots of land at the Coast. He had himself been offered a university course in public administration at Exeter University College, protection for his family, and a government job on his return from the UK ref See Lonsdale 2000 235 ref The affidavit was backed by a letter, apparently from the Attorney General at the time of the trial, detailing the promised benefits See the Time report .
