REFEREE

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 1 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RAY-RHU
REFEREE , a person to whom anything is referred ; an arbitrator. The
court
  of referees in England was a
court
  to which the
House
  of Commons committed the decision of all questions as to the right of petitioners to be heard in opposition to private bills. As originally constituted the referees consisted of the chairman of ways and means, and other members, the
Speaker
 's counsel and several official referees not members of the
House
  of Commons. In 1903 the appointment of official referees was discontinued. The court now consists of the chairman of ways and means, the
deputy
  chairman and not less than seven other members of the House appointed by the
Speaker
 , and its duty, as defined by a
standing
  order, is to decide upon all petitions against private bills, or against provisional orders or provisional certificates, as to the rights of the petitioners to be heard upon such petitions. In the high court of
justice
 , under the Judicature Act 1873, cases may be submitted to three official referees, for trial, inquiry and report, or
assessment
  of
damages
 . Inquiry and report may be directed `n any case, trial only by consent of the parties, or in any matter requiring any prolonged examination of documents or accounts; sr any scientific or local investigation which cannot be tried in Tae
ordinary
  way.
