From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of the sheriffs and high sheriffs of
Staffordshire .
The
sheriff is the oldest secular office under the Crown. The sheriff was the principal law enforcement officer in the county but over the centuries most of the responsibilities associated with the post have been transferred elsewhere or are now defunct so that its functions are now largely ceremonial. From 1204 to 1344 the High Sheriff of Staffordshire also served as
Sheriff of Shropshire .
Under the provisions of the
Local Government Act 1972 , on 1 April 1974 the office previously known as sheriff was retitled
high sheriff .
[1] The high sheriff changes every March.

p.71 : Robert de Bosco, accused of the death of John Buche, before M. de Patushill and his associate Justiciaries last Itinerant, withdrew himself; and Henry de Anestun (de Deneston), then Sheriff and Coroner, was commanded to put him in the exigenda and to outlaw him, because it was testified that he was guilty; and Henry de Verdun, Sheriff and Coroner, states he was not outlawed, but that they took sureties for him. They, i.e., the Sheriffs, are therefore in misericordiâ, and Robert is taken into custody. The sureties of Henry the Sheriff are Geoffrey de Greselega, John fitz Philip, and Milo de Verdun. The sureties of Henry de Verdun are Geoffrey de Greslega, Milo de Verdun, Robert de Mere, and Robert de Acoure.
