MEMBERS OF THE "COUNCIL OF ASSISTANTS" AND SENA- TORS FROM LEBANON FROM THE ORIGIN OF THE TOWN TO 1880.2
Under the charter of Charles II., down to the adop- tion of the constitution of 1818, there were annually chosen by the electors at large a Council of Assist- ants, consisting of twelve members, whose functions were, Ist, to act as an advisory council of the Gov- ernor ; 2d, to act as local magistrates for the colony .; and 3d, as an "Upper House" (or Senate) in the Gen- eral Assembly, six of whom, with the Deputy Gov- ernor, constituted a legal quorum for the "Upper House." After the constitution, down to 1830, twelve senators, chosen also annually, and by the electors at large, constituted the Senate, six of whom, with the Lieutenant-Governor, formed a legal quorum. In 1730 the State was divided into twenty-one senatorial districts, the electors of each district choosing one senator, and this provision still remains.
1 Finished a full course, but twenty-two of his class (himself among them), out of a class of twenty-six, declined to participate in the gradu- ating exercises, from conscientious seruples of principle in the bestow- ment of college honors. His biographer, however, says that he after- wards, in 1836, received his degree. IIe died in 1837. (See " Memoir of William Randall Sexton," by Rev. Charles T. Torrey, 1838, pp. 20-29.) 2 From the State records at Hartford.

REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE TOWN OF LEBANON.
By the early custom of the colony, each town was allowed two "Deputies to the General Court" (then called), but some of the towns occasionally chose to send but one ; and this custom continued down to the adoption of the constitution in 1818, after which the towns then existing were still allowed to send two, but new towns thereafter incorporated were entitled to but one representative each.
Under the charter there were two regular sessions of the General Assembly in each year, held alternately at Hartford in May and at New Haven in October, and the deputies or representatives were chosen for six months only, semi-annually, for each session. The constitution of 1818 provided for one annual session only, to be held in May, alternately at Hartford each odd year, and at New Haven each even year.
