(9) a borough, mar- ket town, parish, and township in the wapentake of Holderness, 8 miles E. from Hull, 46 S.E from York, 182 from London ; inhabitants, 902 ; a per- petual curacy; patron, the Dean of York; market, Saturday; fairs, Janu- ary 15, August 2, September 22. The corporation consists of a mayor, nine aldermen, a recorder, and two bailiffs; it sends two members to parliament, a privilege first granted 25d Edward I., but ceased till it was resumed the first year of Edward VI. The right of elec- tion is in the burgesses, whose freedom is gained by descent, or servitude of seven years to a freeman, residing only in the borough, a judicious distinction which takes place in very few instances else- where in England; the number of voters is about 200. The town con- sists chiefly of one long street, and it is a cheerful place of residence; for- merly it was a port, connected with the Humber by a navigable creek, but as Hull flourished, Hedon declined;. be- sides the present church of St. Austins, here are the almost obliterated remains |
