Description
In December 1796, the general assembly of Virginia passed an act entitled 'an act concerning corporations,' declaring, 'that from and after the passing thereof, the mayor, aldermen, and commonalty of the corporate towns within the said commonwealth, and their successors should, upon request of any person desirous thereof, grant licenses to exercise, in such town, the trade or business of an auctioneer; provided, that no such license should be granted until the person or persons requesting the same should enter into bond with one or more sufficient sureties, payable to the mayor, aldermen, and commonalty of such corporate town, and their successors, in such penalty, and with such condition, as by the laws and ordinances of the town shall be required. In the year 1779 the town of Alexandria was incorporated by the name of 'the mayor and commonalty of the town of Alexandria.' The corporation consisted of the mayor, recorder, aldermen, and common council men.
