THE Citizens of London , by their Charter , among themselves may Make Sheriffs whom they will , and may Remove them when they will .

Therefore the Sheriffes and Common Sergeant for the time being , are , in Election of Sheriffes for the ensuing year , Servants to the common Hall , and ought to propose and Poll for such Persons and such things as shall be nominated and demanded by the Members thereof and for none else .

By a pretended By-Law , T is Ordered to this effect , viz. That whosoever shall be elected Sheriff and Refuse to serve , shall swear himself not worth 10000 l. or enter into Bond to serve , or shall pay 400 l. fine , and in case a Person elected pay his Fine , he is not to be proposed again for that year .

By an Act of Parliament made since this , by Law it is amongst other things enacted to this effect , That the Election of any Officers having any place of trust in any Corporation shall be void , in case the Person so elected shall not have received the Sacrament , according to the Church of England , within a year next before such choice .

Now the two Gentlemen declared to be elected on Midsummer day last , having not been duely qualified as to receiving the Sacrament according to the Statute , such Election was void , and so they are in no Capacity whatsoever within their By-law .

But they having since received the Sacrament , according to the Statute , their Election at this time will be legal and valid , which cannot be assured in Case any other shall be elected , it being altogether uncertain who is duly qualified .
