Summary

POWER TO ELECT

Sheriffs

LONDON, 1131. Ita quod ipsi cives ponent vicecomitem qualem voluerint de se ipsis.

(So that the said citizens may make a sheriff, whom they will of themselves.)

LONDON, 1199.

Et nisi sufficienter responderint et satisfecerint, cives Londoniarum respondeant et satisfaciant de misericordia et firma: salvis eisdem civibus libertatibus suis, sicut predictum est, et salvis vicecomitibus eisdem libertatibus quas alii cives Londoniarum habent. Ita scilicet, quod si illi qui pro tempore fuerint vicecomites constituti aliquod delictum fecerint unde misericordiam pecuniae debeant incurrere, non judicentur ad plus nisi ad misericordiam xx librarum, et hoc sine damno aliorum civium, si vicecomites non sufficiant ad misericordiarum suarum solutionem. Si vero aliquod delictum fecerint per quod periculum vitae vel membrorum incurrere debeant, judicentur sicut judicari debent, per legem civitatis. De hiis autem quae ad predictum Comitatum pertinent, respondeant vicecomites ad scaccarium nostrum, coram justitiariis nostris; salvis eisdem vicecomitibus libertatibus quas alii cives Londoniarum habent.

(That they of themselves may make sheriffs whomsoever they will, and may remove them when they will: and those whom they have made sheriffs, they shall present to our Justices, and they shall answer to us or to our Justices at our Exchequer for those things that pertain to the aforesaid Sheriffdom, concerning which they ought to answer to us.
