To all to whom these Presents shall come, the Right Honourable Philip Hammond, Chancellor and Under Treasurer of Her Majesty's Exchequer, sendeth greeting. Know Ye, that I, the said Right Honourable Philip Hammond have constituted and appointed, and by these presents do constitute and appoint Columba Barry McElduff to be Steward and Bailiff of the Three Hundreds of Chiltern, with full power and authority to hold and keep Courts, and to do all and every other act and acts, thing and things, which to the said offices of Steward and Bailiff of the Three Hundreds aforesaid, or either of them, do belong or in anywise appertain, in as full and ample manner as any former Steward or Bailiff of the said Three Hundreds hath lawfully had, received, or enjoyed the same, to have and to hold the said offices of Steward and Bailiff of said Three Hundreds, together with all wages, fees, allowances, and other privileges and pre-eminences whatsoever to the said Columba Barry McElduff during Her Majesty's pleasure; and I do hereby authorise and empower the said Columba Barry McElduff to demand and receive for Her Majesty's use all Court Rolls and other writings relating to the said Three Hundreds from any person or persons having the same in their hands or custody. And all and every such person and persons having the same in their hands or custody are hereby required to deliver up the same to the said Columba Barry McElduff provided, nevertheless, that the said Columba Barry McElduff shall enter these presents in the office of the proper Auditor within forty days next after the date hereof, and shall yearly return the Court Rolls of the said Three Hundreds into the said office of the said Auditor, and account with the said Auditor for all such sum and sums of money as he, the said Columba Barry McElduff shall receive for and to Her Majesty's use, within forty days next after the feast day of Saint Michael the Archangel, which shall happen in every year, or else these presents and everything herein contained to be void. In Witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal the Sixteenth day of January in the Sixty Sixth year of the Reign of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, and in the year of our Lord Two Thousand and Eighteen. Signed, sealed and delivered (SIGNATURE REDACTED) in the presence of (SIGNATURE REDACTED) 11 Downing Street LONDON SW1A 2AA Ornamentation Describe any ornamentation. Printed in Bookman Old Style. Chancellor's name and style are underlined. Every occurrence of the appointee's name is italicized and in boldface. Special Features This is a place to enter any distinguishing features. MPs technically cannot resign, so a legal fiction is used whereby an MP who wishes to step down is appointed to one of two nominal offices of profit under the Crown--the Stewardship of the Manor of Northstead and the Stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds. In this case, the appointment was particularly ironic given that McElduff was a Sinn Féin MP who refused to take his seat in the House of Commons because he would have been obliged to take the Oath of Allegiance to Queen Elizabeth II.
