Special provision in oath of judges. - The oath of office of judges, including justices of the peace and judges of municipal courts, shall contain, in addition to the matters prescribed in section twenty-three of the Revised Administrative Code, a declaration to the effect that the affiant will administer justice without respect to person and do equal right to the poor and the rich.
The oath of office of the justice of the peace and judge of a municipal court shall be the same in substance as that prescribed for a judge of first instance. Said oath shall be filed with the clerk of Court of First Instance in the province or city, as the case may be, and shall be there preserved.
