Sheriff's officer who serves writs and summonses (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bailiff

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

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