The commissioners in this county appear over diligent in discharging their trust: for whereas those in other shires flitted only the cream of their gentry, it is suspicious that here they made use of much thin milk, as may be collected from their numerousness in a county of so small content. I could wish they had spent part of their pains on some other places, seeing we have so little of great, and nothing of some shires in this kind. But, I see, nothing will here fall out adequate to our desires in all particulars; but still we shall conceive ourselves to have cause to complain of something redundant and something defective. SHERIFFS. Although Oxford and Berk-shires be divided by the Thames, and in the Saxon heptarchy were under two different kingdoms, Oxfordshire belonging to Mercia, and Berkshire to the west Saxons; yet after the Conquest they were united under one sheriff, until the ninth year of queen Elizabeth, as by the catalogue formerly presented in Berkshire doth plainly appear: since that year, for the more effectual discharge of the office, and greater ease of the subjects, each have had several sheriffs, and Oxfordshire as followeth : 11 Will.
