Ch
(3 § Communication
Prehensors

County, as in Norman Law — French it was called, of the
shire, as in Saxon English. How the vice comes
came to be instead of the actual Deputy and
naturally permanent Deputy of the Earl, by him in
every case locable and dislocable, came to be,
not only actually but avowedly the nominee of
the Monarch, by him located in every case for
as long as a year and no longer, belongs not to
this purpose: the fact is here mentioned, mention
of it being necessary to the conception of what follows —
In this petty way The Count was from the first too great a
man to do his own business. As business increased,
so became and so for centuries has been, the
Count's Deputy. The Deputy has for ages had under
himself a Deputy, stiled the Under Sheriff. This Under
Sheriff is always an Attorney: being locable by
each succeeding Sheriff, he is thence, at the commencement
of each Shrievalty year, tacitly dislocable
and in fact, every now and then dislocated. But,
a convenience of having for a Deputy a person who
is accustomed to the business, especially business
of such complexity and frequently of such hazard
and difficulty, and for whose conduct the principal
is in a considerable degree responsible being obvious,
the Attorney, who has once stept into the office,
very commonly continues in it.

To attempt endeavour giving any detailed
conception of the nature and particulars of the intercourse
between the several Westminster Hall
Judicatories, and this their common subordinate
would to a reader as well as writer be a tedious
work, what has been seen of it already suffices
to shew, as it can not but be intricate in the extreme,
and in proportion loaded with delay vexation and expence.
