Edward Carter's hands, in order to defray y« chaxge of o'. new Charter for wch he is to be accomptable . . . 33 6 4 ** In the hands of Tho. Johnson, in order to defray the charge of o^. new Charter for which he is to be accomptable . 40 " Digitized by VjOOQIC HI8T0BT OF ETB8HAM. 265 these Jeffrinan productions, — ^we need only cite the charter now imposed on Eyesham by the grace and &Yor of the crown, in lieu of the more ample privileges secured by that already granted by James the First. This ...charter, bearing date the 12th of June, 1684, — after re-in- corporating the three parishes, and proYiding a mayor and officers similar to the last, — ^proceeds to nominate seyerally to these offices such individuals as were considered least unfEtvorable to the des- potic disposition of the king. And now the election of represent- atives to parliament, instead of being continued with the burgesses at large, is limited to the twenty-one oommon-councilmen of the selected corporation. And, irremediably to retain this close body of electors within the trammels of the royal will, the crown reserves to itself not only the right to appoint at all times four members of this council by the name of '' justices,** but further usurps the power to remove at its sole will and pleasure any corporate officer whatever, by a mere writ of privy-council, declaring any obnoxious individual to be so removed.
