BERKS COUNTY COUNCIL.
Local Government Act, 1888, 51 & 52 Viet. c. 41.
Under the above Act, Berkshire, except a certain borough, see below (a),
after the 1st April, 1889, for the purposes of the Act, became an adminisÂ
trative county (sec. 46), governed by a County Council, consisting of
chairman, aldermen and councillors (the number of councillors being
determined by the Local Government Board), to be elected in manner
prescribed by the Act (sec. 2).
The chairman, by virtue of his office, is a justice of the peace for the
county, without qualification (sec. 46).
The police of the county are now under the control of a standing joint comÂ
mittee of the Quarter Sessions and the County Council, appointed as
therein mentioned (sec. 9).
The coroners for the county are elected by the County Council, and the
clerk of the peace was appointed by Quarter Sessions before the passing
of the Local Government Act, 1888.
The clerk of the peace for the county is also clerk of the County Council
(sec. 83- 1).
