SURROGATE (from Lat. surrogare, to substitute for)

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 141 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: STE-SUS
SURROGATE (from Lat. surrogare, to substitute for) , a
deputy
  of a
bishop
  or an ecclesiastical judge, acting in the absence of his
principal
  and strictly bound by the authority of the latter. Canon 128 of the canons of 1603
lays
  down the qualifications necessary for the office of surrogate and canon 123 the regulations for the appointment to the office. At present the
chief
  duty of a surrogate in England is the granting of
marriage
  licences, but judgments of the
arches
  court of Canterbury have been delivered by a surrogate in the absence of the official
principal
 . The office is unknown in
Scotland
 , but is of some importance in the United States as denoting the judge to whom the
jurisdiction
  of the probate of wills, the grant of administration and of guardian-ship is confided. In some states he is termed surrogate, in others judge of probate,
register
 , judge of the orphans' court, &c. His
jurisdiction
  is local, being limited to his county.
