Sheriff's officer (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bailiff

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">sheriff's officer</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for bailiff that I've seen before include "Landowner's agent" , "Possibly menacing landlord's agent" , "Sheriff's officer - landlord's agent" , "Law officer who helps sheriff, say to foreclose" , "Officer of court" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Independent and The Times.
