Constables.
" COnstable, this word is derived or deduced of two
old Saxon words,
' Cuning, or Kinning, which signifieth King, and Stable,
Stability;

or

§. 2.
High Constables,
how to be
chosen. |
Every Justice of Peace may cause two Constables
to be chosen in each
Hundred, Lamb. 190. and this seemeth to be meant of the High Constables
of Hundreds, and to include and imply of congruence the swearing of
them; and seemeth to be by virtue and force of the Statute of Winchester,
made 13 E. 1. and of the Commission, the first Assignavimus
or Clause. |
|
|
And by the Statute of 34 H. 8. cap. 26.
two Justices of Peace, the one
being of the Quorum, may appoint the High Constables in Wales. |
|
|
And yet the usual manner is, that these High Constables
of Hundreds be
chosen either at the Quarter-Sessions of the Peace; or if out of the Sessions,
then by the greater number of the Justices of Peace of that Division
where they dwell: and likewise that they be sworn either at the Sessions,
or by Warrant from the Sessions; which course hath also been often allowed
and commended unto us by the Judges of Assize. |
|
|
Also in such manner as they are to be chosen, in
the same manner, and
by the like Authority are they to be removed; for eodem modo quo quid
constituitur, dissolvitur: so there shall be cause to remove
and put an
High Constable from his place, it hath not been thought fit that any one
or
two Justices of peace should do it upon their discretion, but that it should
be done by the greater part of the Justices of that Division, and that
for
some just cause; or else that it be done at and in the General Sessions
