 messuages, lands, tenements, or hereditaments, belonging to the

 approbation and concurrence of a general meeting. And we 

 lastly declare it to be our Royal will and pleasure, that no resolu- 

 tion, or bye-law, shall on any account or pretence whatsoever be 

 made by the said body politic and corporate, in opposition to the 

 general scope, true intent, and meaning of this our Charter, or 

 the laws or statutes of our Realm ; and that if any such rule or 

 bye-law shall be made, the same shall be absolutely null and 

 void, to all intents, effects, constructions, and purposes whatso- 

 ever. In witness whereof we have caused these om- Letters to 

 be made Patent. Witness ourself at om- Palace at Westminster,
