Such disqualification shall continue for five years after the term of imprisonment fixed by the sentence, and, if only a fine was imposed or the sentence is suspended, for five years from the date of such condemnation;

(6)  any person convicted of an indictable offence punishable by imprisonment for five years or more after having previously been convicted of two indictable offences so punishable; such disqualification shall continue for 20 years after the term of imprisonment fixed by the sentence and, if only a fine is imposed or sentence is suspended, for twenty years from the date of the conviction;

(7)  whenever the office of mayor or councillor is in question, any persons who are responsible for moneys belonging to the corporation, or who are sureties for the corporation, or who receive any pecuniary allowance or other consideration from the corporation for their services otherwise than under a legislative provision, unless in such latter case such pecuniary allowance or other consideration is received as remuneration for services for municipal road works, and also any person who in fact presides at an election of a mayor or councillor.
