High Sheriff of Limerick City
The High Sheriff of Limerick City was the Sovereign's judicial representative in the city of the City of Limerick. Initially an office for lifetime, assigned by the Sovereign, the High Sheriff became annually appointed from the Provisions of Oxford in 1258.[1] Besides his judicial importance, he had ceremonial and administrative functions and executed High Court Writs.[2] The office was abolished in 1920 on the formation of the Irish Free State.

gollark: And yes, because you can enjoy things while not dead.
gollark: It's not unhealable. As far as I know, people mostly deal with it eventually.
