 quotation from an act of the 4th and 5th of Anne, which permits thoe to be rechoen, whoe eats are vacated by the acceptance of a place of profit. This they wiely conider as an expulion, and from the permiion, in this cae, of a re-election, infer that every other expulion leaves the delinquent entitled to the ame indulgence. This is the paragraph.

“ any peron, being choen a member of the Houe of Commons, hall accept of any office from the crown, during uch time as he hall continue a member, his election hall be, and is hereby declared to be void, and a new writ hall iue for a new election, as if uch peron o accepting was naturally dead. Nevertheles uch peron hall be capable of being again elected, as if his place had not become void as aforeaid.”
