"And the electors of the first band or order, being six,
shall each of them name to his respective magistracy in the left
such as are not already elected in the hundreds, till one
competitor be chosen to every magistracy in the list by the
ballot of the electors of the first order, which done, the list
with the competitors thereunto annexed shall be returned to the
lord high sheriff by the clerk attending that order, but the
electors shall keep their places; for they have already given
their suffrage, and may not enter into the ballot of the tribe.
