SECTION FIVE.
THE HISTORY OF THE CORPORATION.
XIII. A ROLL OF MUNICIPAL SERVICE.
The Roll of Mayors will be given in the next section,
therefore it will be a fitting addenda to the History of the
Corporation to give a roll of some of those who have rendered
Municipal service outside the Mayoralty. In giving a list
of that kind the space required will not allow us to go further
back than the date of the Municipal Reform Act, of 1835,
but from that date we will place on record the names of
all who have served as Aldermen, Councillors, and Magis-
trates of the Borough of Dover down to the present time.
When the Municipal Corporations Act came into force
in the last week of December 1835, the eighteen Councillors
were first chosen and on the first day of the year 1836, the
Councillors chose the six Aldermen and then the twenty-four
members of the Council chose from amongst themselves
Liie Mayor. After that the Magistrates were appointed by
the Crown, chosen mainly from the old Bench of Jurats,
V:)Ut some townsmen from outside were appointed. In the
following lists the names will be given in the order in which
they were originally elected or appointed ; Councillors first,
Aldermen next, and Magistrates following. In the first
election all the eighteen Councillors were chosen and those
who had been members of the old Common Council have
an asterisk placed against their names. In sul)sequent years
the number of new names varied, and in some years there
were no new ones, that depending on the number of old
members who retained their seat by re-election, the rule
having been from the beginning that two Councillors in each
of the three wards should retire every year.
