The majority of these appointments were made from among the Jurats, as was the tradition, although on occasions only a few days passed between the election of a Jurat and his nomination as Lieut-Bailiff.
Because anyone appointed Lieut-Bailiff only holds office by consent of the current Bailiff, their appointments are terminated on the death of a Bailiff, although there is nothing to stop them being reappointed by the new Bailiff, as sometimes, but not always, happened during the period from 1665 to 1826.
In the absence of a Bailiff the States were empowered to appoint a Juge-délégué to preside over the Royal Court until the new Bailiff is sworn in.
Sometimes during the period from 1665 to 1826 the Bailiff would appoint a second Lieut-Bailiff to deputise for the senior Lieut-Bailiff in times of illness or absence from the island; on other occasions the States were forced to appoint a Juge-délégué to deputise for the Lieut-Bailiff in such circumstances.
It is not surprising, then, that the list of Lieut-Bailiffs and Juges-délégués during that period is somewhat complicated. There follows a list of the Bailiffs during the period, with their various lieutenants and Juges-délégués:
