It will be re- membered that the legislature of 16 19 refused to admit two burge...sses because it judged them not properly qualified. In November, 1652, the burgesses carried this so far as to expel two members whose characters were considered inconsistent with the high standard expected of burgesses.^ There are many other instances in which the house as- serted its control over elections of its own members.* The case of Isle of Wight county which had returned three members contrary to the law then in force, already has been referred to.* The decision of the house that " since no burgess is admitted without legal and deliberate exam- ination of his returns, that it cannot consist with the honor of the house to dismiss him from attendance during the con- tinuance of that assembly of which he is a member," sums up the whole power belonging to the assembly, and shows it to have full and exclusive authority to decide on the qualifications and return of members.
