 The Powers and Duties of those Offices.

The Manner of Appointing the High Sheriff, the Under Sheriff and their Deputies.

The Elections of the Serrifs of London and Middlesex with the Bye-Laws of the City Relating Thereto.

The Nature of Actions by and Against Sheriffs

Including

All the Modern Determinations and Necesary Precedents of Retursn to Writs &c.

Also

The Practice

of the

Office of the Coroner;

Shewing

The Mode of his Appointment with the Power and Duties of Taking Inquisitions and Mode of Holding Courts, &c.
