Officers of State

Officers of State 〈苏格兰〉国务官 与御前官〔Officers of the Crown〕含义相近。高级御前官〔Great officers of the Crown〕出现于亚历山大一世〔Alexander I〕时,首先是御前大臣〔Chancellor〕、警长〔Constable〕和首席政法官〔Justiciar〕。大卫一世〔David I〕时,出现了皇室总管〔Great Steward〕、高级警长〔High Constable〕、首席财务官〔Great Chamberlain〕。15世纪时,出现了国务大臣〔Secretary〕、王玺大臣〔Keeper of the Privy Seal〕、登录与卷宗官〔Clerk of the Rolls and Register〕。15世纪及此后几世纪还设立其他一些国务官。对国务官位次排列顺序,经常出现斗争。1617年,詹姆斯六世〔James VI〕在枢密院〔Privy Council〕宣布只有8位国务官可出席议会:财务主管〔Treasurer〕、王玺大臣〔Keeper of the Privy Seal〕、国务大臣〔Secretary〕、登录官〔Register〕、检察长〔Advocate〕、司法书记官〔Justice-Clerk〕、财务主管助理〔Treasurer-Depute〕、权利请求法院法官〔Master of Requests〕,而御前大臣〔Chancellor〕、税收官〔Collector〕、王室审计长〔Comptroller〕作为国务官列席议会。依1685年《国务官法》〔Officers of State Act〕,御前官〔Officers of the Crown〕包括财务主管〔Treasurer〕、国务大臣〔Secretary〕、税收官〔Collector〕、大法官〔Justice-General〕、司法书记官〔Justice-Clerk〕、检察长〔Advocate〕、权利请求法院法官〔Master of Requests〕和登录书记官〔Clerk of Register〕。完整的国务官名单包括:海军大臣〔Admiral〕、检察长〔Advocate〕、施赈官〔Almoner〕、御前大臣〔Chancellor〕、财政官〔Chamberlain〕、登录书记官〔Clerk of Register〕、总税收官〔Collector-General〕、王室审计长〔Comptroller〕、高级警长〔High-Constable〕、司法书记官〔Justice-Clerk〕、首席政法官〔Justiciar〕、王室主管〔Master of the King’s Household〕、锦衣库总管〔Master of King’s Wardrobe〕、权利请求法院法官〔Master of Requests〕、元帅〔Marischall〕、王玺大臣〔Keeper […]
