a constable of Dover Castle (who is now called
Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports) and invested
him with the command of these ports, whose in-
habitants had considerable privileges and immu-
nities, for which they were to supply the gov-
ernment with 57 ships, at 40 days notice and to
pay thsir crews during 15 days. At that period,

a privilege that was enjoyed likewise by the

ent returns two members to parliament, the rep-
resentatives being styled barons of the Cinque
Ports. Their other privileges are now become
nominal. See each place under its respective
