1 Adlash between the dales indicates that the peram appears to have head re-elected annually during the intervening portal, But it is evident that re-elections most frequently have taken place without any record having been made of the fact.
Some of the officers were of a tompwirury character, and others sren to have been created, suspended, revived or addicted, as the circumstances of the lown required, without any offelul entry being made of the change. This will account for the want of continuity that will be atorved in several offices.
The manner of "pelling many of the names liffered at different periods.
