Next High Sheriff named

@Paul Strauss - yellow-livered varmint? Oh dear, oh dear - let's hope that sort of trolling gets you banned from this site- very unpleasant indeed.

congratulations to mary,great to see a local business woman being awarded this office.

Question. Is this the same Mrs Mary Case who had 14 protected trees felled in a field in Freshwater to make way for development and as such has a criminal record?

Well done to Mrs Case. She has to be an improvement on the current yellow-livered varmint. I trust that by the time she takes up her appointment she will have grown a large moustache, have taken to chewing tobacco, and will have developed something of a Texan drawl. Otherwise I fear she will not garner the respect the position deserves, and the gangs of rustlers and outlaws hiding out on Chillerton down will continue to hold the Island in the grip of fear.

Vic you probably need to grease the pole of have a connection to the masons

I didnt see this post advertised anywhere.How do I get my name on the list for the next time?

This is ridiculous - a waste of money and an out of date tradition - get a proper job and stick to it.

So what part of a fund does the expenses come from?

Congratulation Mrs Case on you Royal Appointment. NB: High Sheriffs receive no remuneration and no part of the expense of a High Sheriff’s year falls on the public purse. 

Waste of money.
