In 16 10 it was enacted that the Judges of Assize should inquire into any wrongly made returns, and the sheriff, if convicted of breach of the law, was liable to a fine of ^100 ; while the members unduly returned forfeited their wages. The second method of curtailing the sheriffs power in this matter was by limitations on the qualifications both of electors and of candidates. Thus, by a Statute of r4 1 3 the knights must reside within the shire for which they were elected ; while a law of 1445 ...restricted the persons chosen to the class of knights or esquires. In the case of the electors, the law of 1413 required that the electors should also be residents ; while in 1432 the land in respect of which they voted must be situated in the shire for which they gave their vote. Two years before had been enacted the important statute which limited the electorate to the forty shilling freeholders. It does not, how- ever, seem to have had any effect on the class of persons either electing or elected, though doubtless it did much to check the THE HOUSE OF COMMONS — ITS FORM.
