COMMISSIONERS CLAUSES ACT 1847 - SECT 20 

Manner of determining the rotation by which the first body of commissioners shall go out of office.

20. In order to determine the rotation by which such first body of
commissioners shall go out of office, the commissioners shall within one month
after the passing of the special Act (or after the first election of
commissioners, as the case may be,) meet at some convenient place for the
purpose of forming a rotation list; and at such meeting the clerk, or some
person to be then appointed for that purpose by the commissioners, shall write
the names of all the commissioners on separate slips of paper, all as nearly
as may be of equal size, and having folded them up in the same manner he shall
put them into a balloting box, and shall, in the presence of the meeting, draw
out such slips of paper in succession, and the names upon the slips so drawn
shall be written by the clerk or other person in a list, in the order in which
they are drawn, or, where the commissioners are elected for wards or other
electoral divisions of the town, (and which electoral divisions are
herein-after called wards,) in as many lists as there are wards or electoral
divisions, and in the order aforesaid, each list containing the names of
the commissioners for one such ward or electoral division only; and every such
list shall be kept by the clerk among the papers of the commissioners, and the
names therein shall be numbered consecutively, and the commissioners shall
retire from office in the order in which their names appear on such list or
lists, as the case may be, in the proportions herein-before or in the special
Act mentioned.
