| Sheriff | A shire reeve, or governor of the shire. [UEED] A reeve was an Old English official of high rank having a local jurisdiction under the king; the chief magistrate of a town or district. In England before the Norman Conquest, the scirzerefa (also called scirman) was a high officer, the representative of the royal authority in a shire, who presided in the shire-moot, and was responsible for the administration of the royal demesne and the execution of the law. After the Conquest, the office of sheriff was continued, that title being retained in English documents, while in Latin and French the usual term was vice-comes, viscounte, which had been applied to similar functionaries in Normandy. The functions of the sheriffs of counties have been greatly restricted by successive changes. At the present time the sheriff (more fully called high sheriff), appointed for one year by royal patent, is nominally responsible for the keeping of prisoners in safe custody, the summoning of jurors for the High Court, the execution of writs, and of the sentence of death. In Scotland. In early times (from the 12th c.) a high officer of a county with functions more or less analogous to those of the English sheriff of the same period, together with a civil and criminal jurisdiction of very wide extent. The office was commonly held by a noble, and was often hereditary; its judicial duties were performed by the sheriff-depute, who was necessarily a lawyer. The Act 20 Geo II c. 43 (1747) abolished hereditable sheriffships, and in consequence of its provisions the office of sheriff, in the older sense, practically became extinct. The title of sheriff is now given to the sheriff-depute, who is the chief local judge in a Scottish county, and popularly to the sheriff-substitute who usually hears cases in the first instance, subject to an appeal to the sheriff-depute. Both offices are now held for life, and the appointment rest with the crown. In Ireland. A high officer in an Irish county, whose status and functions were closely similar to those of the English high sheriff. In United States. The sheriff, by himself or his deputies, executes civil and criminal process throughout the county, has charge of the jail and prisoners, attends courts and keeps the peace. According to the County Government And Archives In Pennsylvania, published by the Pennsylvania Historical And Museum Commission in 1947, the sheriff was "charged with keeping the peace and preventing riot and insurrection. He must arrest all deserting husbands, all persons selling liquor within 3 miles of a soldiers' camp, and all persons catching fish by illegal means. The sheriff may seize property used unlawfully such as horses racing illegally, and nets and snares forbidden by law for use in fishing." |
