During twenty-two municipal years, one being but eight

Thirty-five citizens have represented two wards. About a third
of these cases was occasioned by the altered division of wards in
1838. One citizen has represented three wards. Showing that
four hundred and ninety-six citizens have served in the Common
Council, sixty-seven of whom have deceased, four while in office.

The Junior of Theodore Lyman, omitted 1839. See Mayors.

Samuel Thaxter, ward 6, elected for 1830, declined.
William Foster, ward 6, elected for 1831, declined.

Washington P. Gragg, ward 4, spelt Gregg since 1836.
There have been four successfully contested elections.
The first, Feb. 22, 1830, vacated the seat of a member from
ward 6, on the ground that " closing the poll before the hour at
which the voters were notified it would be closed, was a violation
of the rights of the voters."
The second. May 7, 1835, vacated the seats of the members of
ward 3, who were returned as having been elected at an adjourn-
ed meeting, Dec. 11, 1834, on the ground of irregular proceeding
to render the whole number of votes certain by taking the high-
est number of votes for candidates on each opposing ticket ; ad-
journment of the meeting by the sole authority of the warden,
and other irregularities at the annual election, December 8.
The third case, March 7, 1839, vacated the seats of three mem-
bers of ward 12, on the ground that a number of illegal voters suf-
ficient to effect the choice, voted at the polls.
The fourth, Feb. 9, 1843, vacated the seats of three members
from ward 1, returned as elected at the ad.iourned meeting, Dec.
14, on the ground that four votes for non-resident candidates?
(*after having been first thrown out by the ward officers,) were
counted at the annual election, December 12, thereby preventing
the choice of two other candidates, who, by excluding the said
four votes, were by the decision of the Council declared elected,
leaving one vacancy.
The words in the Catalogue, " See JVo." — refer to wards.
*This fact was admitted though not stated in the report of the Committee.
