-== History ==
-A bailiff was an estate manager for the lord of the [[manor]] in feudal England, beginning in the 11th century.  Towards the end of the [[Middle Ages]], the bailiff's duties shifted to become an assistant the sheriff, because lords were often renting their manors to farmers and did not need estate managers anymore.
-Then farmers and landlords used bailiffs as rent collectors.
-The office or jurisdiction of a bailiff was known as his "bailiwick" (BAY-lih-wik).
-In modern America bailiffs are messengers and ushers in the court system.  Today a "bailiwick" can mean any person's special domain, as in "that question about the party can be best answered by Susan, because managing the party is in in her bailiwick."
