Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book documents the diverse administrative civil offices and magistrates in the county of Dorset, England, beginning with their introduction by the Saxons and up until the 19th century. The author focuses on the historical context and changing roles of key official figures, including the custos rotulorum, sheriff, county clerk, and more. The text is organized by the nine divisions of Dorset, which were established in 1830 to replace the old hundredal system, and provides a detailed accounting of the hundreds, liberties, and boroughs within each division. For each parish, chapel, and place, the author lists the officers responsible for maintaining order and collecting taxes. The book draws heavily on information gleaned from Quarter Session records, and includes extracts of particular rules and orders made at these sessions from 1664 onwards.
