From a bailiff is required administration ,
care ,
management ,
skill .
He is ,
therefore ,
entitled to allowance for the expense of administration ,
and for all things done in his office ,
according to his own judgment ,
without the special direction of his principal ,
and also for casual things done in the common course of business :
