Officium vicecomitum. : The office and authority of sheriffs: gathered out of the statutes, and books of the common laws of this kingdom. By Michael Dalton ... To which is added an appendix or supplement, containing a collection of the statutes covering sheriffs made since Mr. Dalton's writing, which are in force and use at this day; ... upon divers statutes, cases and questions in law relating to sheriffs; and several other new matters. The whole, being a work of great use and profit, not only to the students and practitioners in the law, but to all other the gentry of this land, (on whom the burthen of this office lyeth) especially to all immediate high-sheriffs and under-sheriffs. With a new and copious table, wherein the defects and imperfections of the old table are supplied and amended. The new matter is inserted likewise in the table, under their proper heads, and have this mark * set before them. Purged from the errors of all former impressions.
