Sheriff's clerk (7)

I believe the answer is:

bailiff

(Other definitions for bailiff that I've seen before include "Officer of court" , "Sheriff's officer - landlord's agent" , "Court official" , "Landowner's agent" , "Possibly menacing landlord's agent" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
