The castle was in charge of the municipal governor (in No. Mevz) or headman. Both of them had the same range of powers, combined in their hands military power with broad administrative and judicial competencies and at the same time were members of the state council - “Lithuanian Rada” 1). After v. book Alexandra was forced to undertake not to remove officials without a trial; elders usually retain their ranks for life. The headman's allowance usually consisted of income from the estates assigned to the castle, various taxes and duties from merchants and industrialists, and court fines; It is always possible to determine the size of the content, but there is no doubt that it sometimes reached significant amounts (for example, the Vladimir elder received, according to Falchevsky’s calculation, up to 400 kopecks (3000 rubles), not counting such uncertain income as penalties, etc.?). Mevsve governors received in addition from the state treasury about a hundred kopecks of “lengths of assistance” annually 3). From this income, the elders support the castle servants, sometimes watchmen, gunners and, most importantly, servants; They were not obliged to pay each other the costs of the castle.
In case of absence, the elders appointed on their behalf “leaders” or “under-elders”. Not being government officials, the latter probably therefore did not enjoy all the rights of old age during their absence and the population sometimes did not obey them.

captivity, monitored the execution of work and carried out the work himself using funds provided by the population or the government; he also monitored the order and serviceability of the castle in general and he can be equated to a modern commandant or a Polish burgraby; This position was filled by the government and was considered quite important.”

In addition to these common officials in Lutsk there were also: the “key keeper”, who was in charge of the estates of the Lutsk key, and the bridge worker: there were several bridges and one long one, 300 fathoms long. In other castles, these positions are mentioned sporadically, for example, the keymaster Yelevsy, the bridgeman Kremenetsyu).
From time to time they come to castles on special errands, so-called. nobles of the Lord.
On the eve of the Lublin Usha and in connection with it, the positions of castellans were established: Kevsky, Bratslavek and Volynek (this position previously existed in Vilnius and Troki); However, this order, borrowed from Poland, did not carry any real duties and was only an honorary title that gave the right to a seat in the Senate.
At this time, positions are considered both by the government itself, which handed them out for significant “challenges,” and by the police officers, to a large extent, as benefits, income items. Hence the frequent extortion and abuse with weak control of the central government and uncertainty in legal and financial relations among the population, based on custom, on the fact that it has “been like this for a long time”; hence the often indifferent and self-interested attitude towards the responsibilities associated with the position: eminent and eminent persons are not free from such an attitude.
From the same view of positions as of benefit, the widely practiced combination of positions followed: in several elderships, sometimes mutually distant, three or four positions were often combined in the same hands). Some of the southern Russian elderships are usually united in the same hands, for example. Vinnitskoe and Braslavskoe, Cherkasy and Kanevskoe. Their co-regents appointed different governors and officers, who, depending entirely on them, had more reason to care
