75. The nomination of officers to the several offices shall take place on the last Court night in May and the last Court night in November, and the elections on the last Court nights in June and December respectively. The officers shall continue in office for six months, when they shall be succeeded by those who have been proposed at the meeting nights in May and November, and elected at the meeting nights in June and December in each year. In case it happens that on any meeting night for the election of officers, there are not sufficient members in nomination to serve the several offices of Sub-Chief Ranger, Woodwards, and Beadles for the ensuing half-year, the members whose names stand first on the list (unless they are in or are then retiring from office, or shall have been elected on that night to fill office) shall be the Sub-Chief Ranger, Woodwards, or Beadles, or such of them as may not be members in nomination, to succeed those going out of office; and if any or either of such members shall not be present at the time they are called to take office, or shall decline the office falling to their lot, the Secretary shall go down the list, calling each member in rotation until there shall be found sufficient members willing to take the several offices. And every member who shall be absent (sick and country members, Past Chief Rangers, and Past Sub-Chief Rangers excepted), or if present decline to accept the office of Sub-Chief Ranger, Woodward, or Beadle, shall be fined 2s. 6d. No apology shall exempt a brother from the said fine, and all such fines to be applied to the Management Fund. The said offices shall be filled in the same rotation in which they stand in the laws. It is to be understood that when this law shall have been once acted on, to enable the Court to fill up the offices referred to, the Secretary shall upon every subsequent occasion when it be necessary to have any recourse thereto, commence calling the list at the name next succeeding that at which he left off on the previous occasion, and if sufficient members be not found willing to take the whole of such of the said offices as may be vacant when he gets to the bottom of the list, he shall call the names at the commencement thereof, and go down until sufficient are found willing to take such offices.
