"An Account of the Proceedings on the Trial of Susan B. Anthony, on the Charge of Illegal Voting"

13. If any person offering to vote at any election shall be
challenged in relation to his right to vote at that election, by an
Inspector, or by any other person entitled to vote at the same
poll, one of the Inspectors shall tender to him the following
preliminary oath: 'You do swear (or affirm) that you will truly and
fully answer all such questions as shall be put to you touching
your place of residence and qualifications as an Elector.'"
"Sec. 14. The Inspectors or one of them shall then proceed to question
the person challenged in relation to his name; his then place of
residence; how long he has resided in the town or ward where the
vote is offered; what was the last place of his residence before he
came into that town or ward, and also as to his citizenship, and
whether a native or a naturalized citizen, and if the latter, when,
where, and in what court, or before what officer, he was
naturalized; whether he came into the town or ward for the purpose
of voting at that election; how long he contemplates residing in
the town or ward; and all such other questions as may tend to test
his qualifications as a resident of the town or ward, citizenship
and right to vote at that poll.
