oldest, and ending with the youngest, of such new candidates; and where any such length of time, or age, shall be the same as to two or more candidates, or shall be doubtful or not stated, then, according to an alphabetical arrangement of the surnames of such candidates as to whom such particulars shall be so equal or doubtful or not declared, and which alphabetical arrangement of names as to new candidates shall be placed after the other names in the said lists.
The working of these laws will be brought more distinctly into view by placing before the eye part of a supposed London Gazette, containing the names of the candidates for English constituencies. It might appear thus:—
