The See also:medieval constitution of Bolsward, though in its See also:government by eight scabini, with judicial, and four councillors with administrative functions, it followed the See also:ordinary type of Dutch cities, was in some ways See also:peculiar.
The See also:family of Jongema had certain hereditary rights in the See also:administration, which, though not mentioned in the town See also:charter of 1455, were defined in that of 1464. According to this the See also:head of the family sat for two years with the scabini and the third See also:year with the councillors, and had the right to administer an See also:oath to one of each See also:body. More singular was the influential position assigned, in civic legislation and administration, to the See also:clergy, to whom in See also:con-junction with the councillors, there was even, in certain cases, an See also:appeal from the See also:judgment of the scabini.
