Robert Simpson's Hist. of Derby. (No. 6.) A List of the Bailiffs of Derby. "DERBY must have been governed by a bailiff in very early ages; but the time cannot be ascertained. The corporation being unable to prove their right to a bailiff, when sued in the king's courts, four hundred and sixty years ago, proves the great antiquity of this officer. It was even then held by prescription."* King Richard the IIIrd. appears first to have granted to the burgesses of Derby the privilege of choosing a bailiff. There is, however, no list of them to be found prior to the reign of Henry VIII. Here we find the ancestors of many families still resident. A true Catalogue of the bailiffs of the borough of Derby, from the fifth year of the reign of king Henry the VIIIth, to the thirteenth of king Charles the Ist, when the charter was renewed and the borough had a mayor instead of the two bailiffs. 1513 John Brownhill, Thomas Bartholomew. 14 John Stringer, Christopher Thacker. 1517 James Oxeley, Roger Haye. 18 William Woodhouse, John Johnson.
