0 (in the UK ) an official who takes away someone's possessions when they owe money -- （英國查封財產的）查封官，執行官
I am informed by the constabulary authorities that on the date in question two police were protecting two water bailiffs on the steam launch.
The high bailiffs are appointed by the judge.
Apparently, as we have not been able to pay our rent this will cause the bailiffs to take possession and force us into the street.
There is no difference in terms of the controls on those bailiffs.
The first part relates to the general law and rules that apply to bailiffs, particularly private bailiffs.
They had their sleep disturbed when the bailiffs took repossession.
They would be for particular areas, mainly where there are no water bailiffs at present.
The cost of employing water bailiffs has gone up remarkably.
