e  Van  Orsdall  v.  Hazard,  3  Hill  (N.V.),
243  ;  asserting,  arguendo,  the  incidental
power  of  municipal  corporations,  as  such,
to  accept  resignations,  and  approving  the
opinion  of  Mr.  Willcock  (Munic.  Corp.
240),  who  observes,  respecting  the  cases
on  this  subject  :  "  I  presume  that  a  right
to  accept  a  resignation  passes  incidentally
with  a  right  to  elect."  See,  also,  Rex  v.
Tidderley,  1  Sid.  14,  per  Hale,  Ch.  B.;
Jenning's  Case,  12  Mod.  402  ;  Taylor's

by  him,  and  delivered  to  the  town-clerk,
resign  the  office,  on  payment  of  the  tine
provided  for  non-acceptance  thereof."
