CLERK, officer. A person employed in an office, public or private, for
keeping records or accounts. His business is to write or register, in proper

clerks, however, have little or no writing to do in their offices, as, the
clerk of the market, whose duties are confined chiefly to superintending the
markets. In the English law, clerk also signifies a clergyman.
CLERK, eccl. law. Every individual, who is attached to the ecclesiastical
state, and who has submitted to the ceremony of the tonsure, is a clerk.
