: Town criers are protected under the ruling court, as they sometimes brought bad news such as tax increase or draft. They are not to be hindered nor heckled while performing their duties. To injure or harm a town crier is seen as an act of treason against the ruling court.
: The term "Posting A Notice" comes from the act of the town crier, who having read his message to the townspeople, would attach it to the door post of the local inn.
: Criers are not always men. Many town criers were women. Bells ware not the only attention getting device, gongs and drums are instruments of choice for many, but never are hunting horns to be sounded for such use.
: Criers or bellmen are usually people of some standing in the community, as they must to be able to read and write the proclamations. The crier reads a proclamation, usually at the door of the local inn, then nail it to the door post – which is where the expression “posting a notice” comes from.
:: Criers are used to issue warnings and acted as conveyors of local news. In Paol, after a fire which destroyed one side of the high street in 97 LA, the “coal and candle” proclamation was introduced. This was an instruction to the burghers to acquaint themselves with every device for fire prevention.
: The town crier is sometimes rewarded for his services with a pair of shoes and a few trifles.
: Women may be employed in spreading the news of items which have been lost, the arrival of fresh food at the market or some piece of local intelligence.
