which were once of great extent in
many parts of the country. These
cold and high hills stretch nearly
across the kingdom, occupying especi-
ally large portions of Buckingham
shire and Heftfordshire. They are
composed of chalk, mixed with loan
and clay, and full Of flnts. On the
Berkshire side Of tie Thames. at Hen.
ley, there is an immense cut in one Of
these chalk hills, through which the
road passes, and in the sides of which
there is a very fine exhibition OF thi.
formation, which is so extensive in
England. These are the Chiltern
Hills; and the ChiItern Hundreds was
one of this region, (thc whole country
being divided into districts called

The Commons, therefore, are bound ia
the King, rs well as to their immedi-
ate constituents, TO sit in the Parlia-
ment lol which they are chosen; and
It is a received and settled practice, il
not law, that member has not an abb
solute right TO resign his seat. To
help out the case, another notion
comes in, namely, that the member
vacates his scat by accepting any new
appointment whatever of an official
kind from the King. Even the Prime
Minister, if a member, vacates his
seat by accepting Office, and must be
reelected by the same. or another
constituency. To accept the Chiltern
Hundreds, therefore is to get out OF
Parliament by the back door, the
front door being locked and barred. -
