Gayton Pleasant Notes Don Quixot ii. ii. 38 Constables, Tithing-men, Bayliffs, bumme or shoulder-Marshals, and the like dreadfull appearances, which make stop of suspicious persons. Compare in the same sense also bum-trap n. at bum n.¹ and int.² Compounds 2, bum-bailey n.

derogatory. Now chiefly historical.

A bailiff empowered to execute writs and warrants, esp. to collect debts or arrest debtors for non-payment. Cf. bailiff n. 2, bum-bailey n.
