You shall, in Easter week, cause your parishioners to chuse surveyors for the mending of the highways in your parish. . . . And you shall well and duly, according to your knowledge, power, ...and ability, do and execute all things belonging to the office of a constable so long as you shall continue in this office.

' The constable, among the other duties prescribed by his oath, had to "raise the hue and cry" when it was demanded — that is to say, if any one were as- saulted or robbed and appealed to the constable of the parish in which the injury occurred, the constable must summon out his neighbors, whether it were by day or by night, to seek the culprit. If not successful he must give notice to the constables of the adjacent parishes, who were similarly to raise the hue and cry in their neighborhoods.
