No citizen is bound to an active execution of this law, unless called upon as one of the posse comitatus. |
The viking band, as a development of the Teutonic comitatus, was naturally inspired with its ideas of honour and valour. |
It is scarcely credible that a Teutonic comitatus could have existed under such conditions. |
The Senate Judiciary Committee agreed that marshals could summon both the militia and regular troops to serve in a posse comitatus. |
This was the posse comitatus, the force of the county, and was under the command of the sheriff. |
It would be a mistake no doubt to suppose that the comitatus owes its origin to this mercenary service. |
