In 1662 counties and parishes were authorized to make laws for themselves. As in New York, the county had more to do with the man- Digitized by LjOOQIC 29 ^ agement of local affairs than the town. By an act passed in the year 1705 towns were established as free burghs, with merchant guilds and communities, such as they had in England. When a burgh had thirty families resident therein it was provided that there should be chosen by the freeholders and inhabitants of the place, twenty-one years of... age and upwards, not being servants or apprentices, eight of the prin- cipal inhabitants to hold office during good behavior, and to be called ^^ benchers of the guild hall." The persons so chosen were authorized to provide ^^for the better rule and governance of the town and 'for man- aging the affairs thereof." They were made a body corporate and politic, with power to sue and be sued.
When there were sixty families in a burgh, then fif- teen persons were to be chosen as " brethren assistants of the guild hall," to act as a common council to the burgh, ^^in the making and declaring statutes and ordinances." This attempt to introduce the government of the mercantile guild was unsuccessful, and the statute was repealled in the year 1710.
