From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Shire \Shire\, n. [AS. sc[c6]re, sc[c6]r, a division, province,
      county. Cf. {Sheriff}.]
      1. A portion of Great Britain originally under the
            supervision of an earl; a territorial division, usually
            identical with a county, but sometimes limited to a
            smaller district; as, Wiltshire, Yorkshire, Richmondshire,
            Hallamshire.
  
                     An indefinite number of these hundreds make up a
                     county or shire.                                 --Blackstone.
  
      2. A division of a State, embracing several contiguous
            townships; a county. [U. S.]
  
      Note: Shire is commonly added to the specific designation of
               a county as a part of its name; as, Yorkshire instead
               of York shire, or the shire of York; Berkshire instead
               of Berks shire. Such expressions as the county of
               Yorkshire, which in a strict sense are tautological,
               are used in England. In the United States the composite
               word is sometimes the only name of a county; as,
               Berkshire county, as it is called in Massachusetts,
               instead of Berks county, as in Pensylvania.
  
                        The Tyne, Tees, Humber, Wash, Yare, Stour, and
                        Thames separate the counties of Northumberland,
                        Durham, Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, etc. --Encyc.

      {Knight of the shire}. See under {Knight}.
  
      {Shire clerk}, an officer of a county court; also, an under
            sheriff. [Eng.]
  
      {Shire mote} (Old. Eng. Law), the county court; sheriff's
            turn, or court. [Obs.] --Cowell. --Blackstone.

            shire; a sheriff. --Burrill.
