By the 23 H.6.cap.10. it is provided, “That no Sheriff shall let to Farm in any Manner his County, nor any of his Bailiwicks, Hundreds or Wapentakes.” By "farm" they mean to contract out any of the functions of his office. He is permitted under sheriff's (deputies) and clerks. But what is this? How is it a sheriff has a county, bailiwicks, hundreds or wapentakes? Here all a sheriff has is a county and there are no people in counties.

Bailiwick ... In England, it signifies generally that liberty which is exempted from the sheriff of the county over which the lord of the liberty appoints a bailiff. WAPENTAKE... An ancient word used in England as synonymous with hundred.
