" Scutz, or Schute, " according to Mr. B. , p. 26, was a title, meaning chief officer, changed into that of sheriff by the Eng- lish, when New Castle was incorporated, in 1672, — See Smith's New Jersey. " This explanation is not happy. " The title said by Smith (p. 72) to be " changed into sheriff for the corporation and river, " was " schoute, " the English of which, as given by Buys, in his ...Dutch and English Dic- tionary, is " sheriff or bailiff.
