ham, and county o! the faid town.” (Paf- 
fed May 37,1803 ) 
The above Aét recites, that of late years 
many riots and difturbances of the publie 
peace have taken plece within tre town 
and county of the town of Nottingham 5 
and that at the Ja‘e election of members to 
ferve in parhament for the faid town and 
county, the freedom of iuch eleftion was 
by great riots and, difturbances, grofsly 
viglated, and a great number of electors 
were deterred from exercifing their fran- 
chife by voting at fuch elettion. 
That the faid town and county of the 
faid town were formerly part of the 
county of Nottingham, but have been 
feparated and made diftinét therefrom, 
and exempted from the jurifdiction of the 
magiltrates of the faid county of Not. 
tingham ; and the mayor and alderman 
of the faid town of Nottingham are juf- 
tices of the peace in and for the faid town 
and the county of the faid town. ; 
Thot the faid difinét and exclufive 
juri{diction has been found ineffectual for 
preferving the peace and fecuring the frce- 
dom of election within the faid town and 
county of the faid town. 
It is therefore enaéted by the above Act 
(chap. xiv.) that from and after the’ paf- 
fing thereof it fhall be lawful for the juf- 
tices of the peace in and for the county 
of Nottingham, to aét as juftices o! the 
peace, in and for the faid town acd county 
of the faid town of Nottingham ; and 
fuch juft:ecs are authorized to act as juf- 
tices in and for the faid town and county 
of the town of Nottingham, in as full and 
ample manner as they might havedone it the 
fame had not been. made a difiinct coun- 
ty, but had continued part of the county of 
Nottingham; and as fully and amply as 
the mayor and aldermén or any of them, 
as juftices of the peace before the pafling 
of the aét have’ ufed and exerciled within 
the faid town, and perions authorized 
by any of the faid jul jces to do any act, 
are authorized to act in purfuance of fuch 
authority. §.1.
