"Origin of Office: The office of sheriff is an ancient one, dating back to at least the time of Alfred, King of England, and the holder thereof has always been the chief executive officer and conservator of the peace in his shire or county. He is a county officer representing the executive or administrative power of the state within his county. In this country, the office is generally an elective one, and anciently in England, sheriffs were elected by freeholders of the county, although gradually, it became the custom for the Crown to appoint the Sheriff. " The Common Law is the basis for all lawful law in this country. The police and sheriffs are being used illegally as 'bag men' for the evil and vicious and unlawful Equity or Admiralty law. This pamphlet reveals what this is, how it is, who is doing it and most importantly what our real and true roles in all this was, is and should be. Every law enforcement person in this country needs to read this material. 8.5" X 11"
