Synopsis
This book scrutinizes the office of Sheriff in Ontario, Canada. Once a magistrate with judicial functions, the Sheriff gradually became responsible for the administration of court processes and income collection. The author argues that the office has become outdated due to the decline in civil litigation and the transfer of criminal work to police magistrates, resulting in a sharp decrease in the Sheriff's workload. The book explores alternative duties for the Sheriff to justify the office's continued existence, including combining the roles of Sheriff and Gaoler, and making the Sheriff the High Constable of the county. The author also examines the broader historical context of the Sheriff's office, tracing its origins to the Anglo-Saxon period in England, and discusses the changing role of the Sheriff in Ontario over time. Ultimately, the book asserts that the office of Sheriff in Ontario has become an anachronism and recommends that it be either abolished or restructured to meet the demands of the 20th century.
