Portraits of the Sheriff of London, Alderman Hanson (left) and Sheriff Ogg of Middlesex (right) appointed circa annually for the City of London by the Liverymen of the City Livery Companies. Historically officeholders had important judicial responsibilities. They have attended the Justices at the Central Criminal Court, Old Bailey, since its original role as the Court for the City and Middlesex. In 1889 the jurisdiction of the sheriffs was restricted to the City. The Local Government Act 1888 created a new office of High Sheriff of Middlesex appointed in the same manner as other English and Welsh counties. At the same time, the most populous parts of Middlesex were included in the new County of London, which had its own High Sheriff.
