"There be several officers called bailiffs, whose offices and employments seem quite different from each other...

There are, likewise, officers of the forest, who are termed bailiffs." 1 Bacon's Abridgment, 498 9.

Wild fowl were plentiful, and oysters, "as good as ever came from Colchester," and of about the same size, says Banks, were taken on board in large quantities: "laid down under the booms, and employed the ship's company very well, who, I sincerely believe, did nothing but eat them from the time they came on board till night, by which time a large part were expended.
"You don't mean Frinton-on-Sea?" exclaimed Miss Ingate, suddenly excited. "It is on the sea," said Jane. "We have to go through Colchester. Do you know it?" "Do I know it!" repeated Miss Ingate.

The clearance of the north detains him for some time, during which he deals sternly with soldiers who plunder.
Did he ever do any business with you I mean buy anything in the store?" "Why yes, I think very possibly he might. Most every one of prominence in Colchester, at one time or another, has made purchases in our store some more, some less. No particular purchase made by Grafton stands out in my mind, however." "How about having his watch repaired?" "I'd remember, I think, if I had fixed his watch.
Find Parkins, Jack, and send him to me.... Ah, Parkins if any one calls say I'll be out until six o'clock." "Yes, my Lady." Parkins knew on which side his bread was buttered.
