We having on a complaint on the act 1743, set aside the election of four Councillors that by the set ought to be chosen by poll of the unincorporated Burgesses, and ordered a new poll; a new complaint was made of that second poll, which we ordered to be answered eight days after service; and in the answers, objections were made on that act against the competency of the complaint as being too late in the time of answering; but we found it not within the act, and repelled the objection, and thought the complaint equally competent, as it would be against a Sheriff for wrong executing our orders in setting march stones.
