I have an ancestor Tom Snailum, who was the Moderator of the Edinburgh High Constables in 1920 and also a JP.
Question:
What do you have to do/be to be a High Constable, and what are the duties required of the office and do they have any legal powers in law?
What is required to become a JP
Tom was Chief Engineer of Donaldson's Hospital and did not have a legal background.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
