Excerpt from Interim Report Respecting Sheriffs of the Commission to Inquire Into, Consider and Report Upon the Best Mode of Selecting, Appointing, and Numerating Sheriffs, Etc., Etc., 1921
Under the institution of Frank Pledge - the earliest English Police System on record - the County was divided into Tithings, or groups of ten family heads, who were mutually responsible for each other's good behaviour, and bound to assist in producing any one of their number who transgressed before the Officers of Justice. Ten Tithings formed a Hundred and when the Sheriff held his Tourn or Court throughout the County twice yearly, he inquired of the heads of the Hundreds and Tithings as to what offences had been committed since his last visit. Most offences were punished by fines, and the levying of fines was the general business of'the Sheriff's Court.
The Sheriff, sitting in his Court, ordered the arrest of: persons accused of grave crimes and tried all offences, even assaults of an aggravated nature, not charged as breaches of the King's Peace. All breaches of the King's Peace had to be referred to the King's Court. The Sheriff sitting in the County Court, or as it was called, the Sheriff's Court, had, till some time after the Norman Con quest, unlimited jurisdiction in the civil affairs of the County.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book scrutinizes the office of Sheriff in Ontario, Canada. Once a magistrate with judicial functions, the Sheriff gradually became responsible for the administration of court processes and income collection. The author argues that the office has become outdated due to the decline in civil litigation and the transfer of criminal work to police magistrates, resulting in a sharp decrease in the Sheriff's workload. The book explores alternative duties for the Sheriff to justify the office's continued existence, including combining the roles of Sheriff and Gaoler, and making the Sheriff the High Constable of the county. The author also examines the broader historical context of the Sheriff's office, tracing its origins to the Anglo-Saxon period in England, and discusses the changing role of the Sheriff in Ontario over time. Ultimately, the book asserts that the office of Sheriff in Ontario has become an anachronism and recommends that it be either abolished or restructured to meet the demands of the 20th century.
