* Under-sheriff. It is certainly in these days considered necessary that 

 the Under-sheriff should have had a legal training, and consequently he is 

 usually, if not always, chosen from one of the leading solicitors in Derby. 

 In 1630 he was one John Jackson, of Stansop, Co. Stafford. The Deed 

 of Appointment, which is in the writer's possession, is by Francis Brad- 

 shawe, of Bradshawe, and Edward Pegg, of Ashbourne, and is dated 

 16th December, 6 Charles I. (1630), probably not long before the Winter 

 Assizes. As the High Sheriff's year of office at that period began at 

 Michaelmas instead of Lady Day, this date for the appointment of the 

 Under-sheriff was probably as soon as was necessary.
