ALGUAZIL

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 656 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AJA-ALL
ALGUAZIL , a Spanish
title
  often to be met in stories and plays, derived from the Arabic " visir " and the
article
  " al." The alguazil among the early Spaniards was a judge, and sotnetimes the
governor
  of a town or fortress. In later times he has gradually sunk down to the rank of an officer of the
court
 , who is trusted with the service of writs and certain
police
  duties, but he is still of higher rank than the mere corchete or catch-
poll
 . The
title
  has also been given to inspectors of weights and
measures
  in market-places, and similar officials.
