6 & 7 Will. 4. c. 116. s. 147.
High constable or collector of barony need not be resident therein.
|
13. And whereas by the said recited Act it is amongst other things enacted, that the grand jury of every county shall at each assizes appoint a proper person resident in the barony to be high constable or collector thereof: And whereas the said enactment has been found inconvenient, so far as it requires that the high constable or collector shall reside within the barony: Be it therefore enacted, that it shall not be necessary that the person so appointed to collect shall actually reside within the barony, provided it shall appear to the magistrates and rate-payers assembled at the sessions of the barony, and to the grand jury, that his usual place of residence is sufficiently contiguous thereto; anything in the said recited Act to the contrary in anywise notwithstanding.
