This term, as used in various compound legal phrases, is sometimes merely an addition of dignity, not importing a comparison ; but more generally it means exalted, either in rank or location or occupying a position of superiority, and in a few instances it implies superiority in respect to importance, size or frequency or publicity of use, e. g., "high seas," "highway." As to high "Bailiff," "Constable," "Crimes," "Justice," "Justiciar," "School," "Sea," "Sheriff," "Treason," and "Water-Mark," see those titles.
