sheriff
sheriff the shire reeve. In England, the sheriff is the chief officer of the county. The sheriff is the official to whom judgments of the High Court are sent for enforcement although in practice enforcement is carried out by the under-sheriff. In cases where the sheriff cannot act, writs are sent to the CORONER and then passed to the under-sheriff to act for the coroner. In Scotland, the sheriff is a judge who sits in the sheriff court with powers to deal with many civil actions, including many of unlimited value, and a criminal jurisdiction to sentence for up to three years if sitting with a jury.
