Sheriff of Middlesex

From c. 1131 to 1889 there was no separate sheriff for the county. By a charter of Henry I the livery of the City of London were given the right to elect two sheriffs of "London and Middlesex" on a payment of £300 per annum to the Crown.{{cite web |url=http://www.the-orb.net/encyclop/culture/towns/florilegium/government/gvcons01.html |title=Charter granted by Henry I to London |date=18 August 2001 |work=Florilegium Urbanum |publisher=The ORB: On-line Reference Book for Medieval Studies |accessdate=24 June 2010}} This continued until 1889, when the Local Government Act 1888 came into force. A single High Sheriff of Middlesex was thereafter appointed in the same manner as other English counties. At the same time, the most populous parts of Middlesex were included in the new County of London, which had its own high sheriff.{{cite news |title=The Local Government Bill |newspaper=The Times |date=17 May 1888 |page=8 }}

The office ceased to exist in 1965, when Middlesex was abolished. The majority of the area became part of the jurisdiction of the High Sheriff of Greater London.{{cite web|url=http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts1964/pdf/ukpga_19640042_en.pdf |archive-url=http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20090806065858/http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts1964/pdf/ukpga_19640042_en.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-date=6 August 2009 |title=Administration of Justice Act 1964 (1964 c.2), Section 19 |work=Acts of the UK Parliament and Explanatory Notes |publisher=Office of Public Sector Information |accessdate=29 June 2010 }}

Note: the years shown are the shrieval years. Sheriffs were appointed at a meeting of the privy council generally held in February or March and held office until the similar meeting in the next year. For example, high sheriff appointed in March 1892 "for the year 1892" held office until March 1893.
