[40] See before, p. 23. In Yorkshire, when bailiff of the liberty has no prison of his own, the usage is for him to bring the body to the sheriff, who makes out an ordinary commitment to the county jail. [41] _De ballivis suis_; the printed translation reads "any of their _bailiffs_;" but this is only one out of numberless instances of its gross and shameful inaccuracy. [42] This act extends to inquests before coroners. _Cro. Car._ 134. [43] By § 9.
