AllegroTrans Oct 5, 2011:
Liberties is not being used here to denote legal rights, liberties etc.
As Gallagy rightly says, the Liberties were the parts of the city that sprang up outside the walls, so the term is purely geographical
MM^^ Oct 5, 2011:
Une suggestion "rendant la justice et gardien des libertés en cette cité"
ou "gardien des libertés en cette cité et y rendant la justice"

Although the city walls provided a more "concrete" symbol of the bounds of the City, the reach of the Guildhall — and the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of London — extended beyond the walls, to the limits of the city "Liberties" that represented the political and legal limits of the power of city goverment. The bounds of the "Liberties" were, roughly, the Tower of London to the east, and the Temple Bar, on Fleet Street, to the west. Beyond these Liberties was Westminster, and the suburbs that would, in fact, soon be swallowed up by the prodigious growth of the city during the next century.

Peer comment(s):

disagree AllegroTrans : non, rien à voir avec défense des libertés; les libertés sont certains environs rattachés a la cité propre
