The High Sheriff of Tyrone is the Sovereign's judicial representative in County Tyrone. Initially an office for lifetime, assigned by the Sovereign, the High Sheriff became annually appointed from the Provisions of Oxford in 1258.{{cite book |author1=John David Griffith Davies |author2=Frederick Robert Worts | title = England in the Middle Ages: Its Problems and Legacies | publisher = A. A. Knopf | year = 1928 | pages = 119 }} Besides his judicial importance, he has ceremonial and administrative functions and executes High Court Writs.{{cite book | last = Alexander | first = George Glover | title = The Administration of Justice in Criminal Matters (in England and Wales) | url = https://archive.org/details/administrationof00alexuoft | year = 1915 | publisher = The University Press | pages = [https://archive.org/details/administrationof00alexuoft/page/89 89] }}
History
The first (High) Shrievalties were established before the Norman Conquest in 1066 and date back to Saxon times.{{cite book | last = Morris | first = William Alfred | title = The Medieval English Sheriff to 1300 | url = https://archive.org/details/medievalenglishs0000morr | url-access = registration | publisher = Manchester University Press | location = Manchester | year = 1968 | isbn = 0-7190-0342-3 | pages = [https://archive.org/details/medievalenglishs0000morr/page/73 73] }} In 1908, an Order in Council made the Lord-Lieutenant the Sovereign's prime representative in a county and reduced the High Sheriff's precedence.{{cite book | last = Millward | first = Paul | title = Civic Ceremonial: A Handbook, History and Guide for Mayors, Councillors and Officers | year = 2007 | publisher = Shaw | isbn = 978-0-7219-0164-0 | pages = 163 }} Despite however that the office retains his responsibilities for the preservation of law and order in a county.
While the office of High Sheriff ceased to exist in those Irish counties, which had formed the Irish Free State in 1922, it is still present in the counties of Northern Ireland.
