Proceedings of the County Courts of Charles County 1666-1674Volume 60, Preface 18
THE SHERIFF
The sheriff, or high sheriff as he is occasionally called to distinguish him from an under sheriff or deputy, was an important county official. During the period covered by this volume the sheriff of each county was chosen annually by the Governor from three names nominated to him by the justices of the several county courts. The sheriff received no salary but was paid by fees, and the office was quite a profitable one. The duties and powers of the sheriff have been fully discussed by the editor in a previous volume of the Archives (LIII, xxxix-xl). The sheriff at this period was prohibited by law from acting as attorney in his own court. One of the justices, Henry Adams, who had been appointed sheriff April 20, 1665, and sworn in on June 13 (ibid. 572-573), still held office when this record begins. He appointed Samuel Cressey, the attorney, his under sheriff or deputy sheriff. He was succeeded as sheriff by another justice, Thomas Mathews, who was sworn in at the June, 1666, court, and appointed Thomas ALLANSON his under sheriff (Page 2 1-22). A sheriff could not sit as a justice. Benjamin ROZER received his appointment as sheriff April 15, 1667 (Arch. Md. V; 4) and was reappointed April 1, 1668 (ibid. 27). These court records show that he continued to act as sheriff during the years 1669, 1670, 1671, and early in the year 1672, although no actual record of his annual appointment after 1668 can be found. Jonathan MARLER and Samuel Cressey appear as under sheriffs in writs dated 1668 in the Rozer period (Page 105, 139). It may be added that ROZER, who was followed by John ALLEN in 1672, was reappointed sheriff September 8, 1674, serving in that office until several years afterwards (Arch. Md. LI; 131, 204). ALLEN, recently a London merchant, had been in Maryland only a few years (p. 504). On November 8, 1672, ALLEN appears as sheriff (p. 428), and was still in office in August, 1674, when the coroner returned writs in suits in which ALLEN was a plaintiff (p. 573). As of some interest in this connection, the court record reveals that the sheriff's imprisonment charges for the custody for five days of a prominent defendant, Samuel FENDALL, were 100 pounds of tobacco, or 20 pounds a day; and that the charge for the arrest of this same person was a fee of 55 pounds (p. 437).
