An Inquiry Into the Elective Franchise of the Freeholders Of, and the Rights of Election For, the Corporate Counties in England and Wales: Also, a Report of the Proceedings of the Warwickshire Election Committee, in 1821 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from An Inquiry Into the Elective Franchise of the Freeholders Of, and the Rights of Election For, the Corporate Counties in England and Wales: Also, a Report of the Proceedings of the Warwickshire Election Committee, in 1821

In most instances I have inserted a few of the earlier writs and returns, which show that when a town was made a county of itself the sheriff or sheriffs succeeded the mayor or bailiffs as the returning oflicers, and that the elections were thenceforth made in the county court; but I have not given a detailed account of them, for the same reason which deterred me from procuring oflice copies of the charters.
