Black's Law Dictionary
In English law
Some person, not one of the examiners of the court of chancery, appointed to lake evidence in a particular suit. This may be done when the state of business in the examiner's office is such that it is impossible to obtain an appointment at a conveniently early day, or when the witnesses may be unable to come to London.
