Serjeant: A Historical Figure in the Realm of Law and Order From James Fitzgerald's "The Ancient English Musket & Halbert Exercise" to the captivating lithographs depicting a division in the House of Commons, serjeants have played an integral role throughout history. These individuals were not only officers of Parliament but also guardians of parliamentary privilege. In "The Question of Privilege, at the Bar of the House of Commons, the Speakers Admonition, " we catch a glimpse into their pivotal role in upholding order within this esteemed institution. The engraving portrays their unwavering dedication to maintaining decorum and ensuring fair proceedings. "The Breach of Parliamentary Privilege" serves as a testament to their vigilance against any infringement upon these privileges. This powerful image captures serjeants defending democracy with unyielding determination. Even beyond politics, serjeants left an indelible mark on society. In "The Picture of the Irish House of Commons in 1790, " we witness their presence shaping legislative affairs during significant historical moments. Moving forward through time, even amidst World War II chaos, humor found its place with comic postcards like "A Piece of Cake. " Serjeants' influence extended beyond traditional realms as they became symbols representing resilience and strength during challenging times. Notable figures such as "The late Serjeant Ballantine" showcased how these individuals commanded respect both inside and outside courtrooms. Their expertise contributed significantly to legal proceedings while leaving an enduring legacy for future generations. Breaking barriers was another facet where serjeants made strides; they paved the way for progress by welcoming female jurors at London's Old Bailey in 1921. This milestone marked a turning point towards gender equality within our judicial system. Their impact wasn't limited to England alone; across borders, Highland Regiment officers stood side by side with serjeants during battles fought centuries ago. Through thick and thin, they exemplified loyalty, bravery, and camaraderie.
