III. Every other Candidate, not producing the cer-
tificate mentioned in clause 1, must prove his age by
statutory declaration, and should also, if possible,
produce a record of birth or baptism from some official
register; under which term may be included the
parochial registers of baptisms, the non-parochial
registers of baptisms and births deposited at Somerset
House under Acts of Parliament, the register kept at
the India Office of persons born in India, &c., &c.
This regulation applies—

1. To all Candidates not born in England or
   Wales.
2. To Candidates who, though born in England
   or Wales, cannot produce the Registrar-
   General's Certificate.
   The Civil Service Commissioners reserve to them-
   selves the right of deciding in each case upon the
   sufficiency of the evidence produced, but they subjoin
   the following general rules for the guidance of Can-
   didates :-
   (a.) The declaration should specify precisely the
   date and place of birth, and should, if pos-
   sible, be made by the father or mother of
   the Candidate. If made by any other per-
   son, it should state the circumstances which
   enable the declarant to speak to the fact.
   If an entry in a Bible or other family record
   be referred to, the Bible or other record
   must be produced at the time of making
   the declaration, and must be mentioned
   in the declaration as having been so pro-
   duced.
   (b.) If the Candidate was born in England or
   Wales, the declaration must contain a state-
   ment, that after due inquiry no entry has
   been found in the books of the Registrar-
   General; or a separate declaration must be
   made to that effect.
   (c.) If no extract from any register is produced,
   the declaration must contain a statement
   that after due inquiry no such record is be-
   lieved to exist, or a separate declaration
   must be made to that effect.
   (d.) Statutory declarations must be exactly in
   the form prescribed by the Act 5 and 6
   William IV. c. 62. A printed form, if re-
   quired, will be supplied on application to
   the Civil Service Commissioners.
   N.B.-Clergymen, as such, are not qualified to take
   declarations.
