VII. And be it further enacted, That, when any One or more of the Commissioners for the Purposes of this Act shall die, or decline to act, or having begun to act, shall decline to act any further therein, then and in every such Case, the remaining Commissioners shall choose One or more of the Person or Persons on the List to supply Vacancies, who shall be appointed the Commissioner or Commissioners in the Place of the Commissioner or Commissioners so refusing or declining to act or dying, provided the Person so to be appointed shall have been chosen to supply such Vacancy in the same Manner as the Person so refusing or declining to act or dying; and the several Commissioners of Land Tax shall, at such their General Meetings, as often as Occasion shall require, select and add new Names to the Persons before chosen to supply Vacancies, who shall respectively be a Commissioner or Commissioners for the Purposes of this Act, as and when any such Vacancy shall happen: Provided always, that if the List for supplying Vacancies, to be made and renewed as aforesaid, shall at any Time be defective, so that the due Number of Commissioners cannot be supplied therefrom, the same shall be filled up and renewed from Time to Time by the acting Commissioners for the District where such Failure shall have happened, until such General Meeting shall be held as aforesaid.
