Definition :

Surveyor, one who has the overseeing or care of another person's land or works. See HIGHWAYS. There are local authority surveyors, see, e.g., (English) Loc. Gov. Act, 1933, s. 104.

A Court of Surveyors was erected by 33 Hen. 8, c. 39, for the benefit of the Crown. The Court had long fallen into disuse, when the ss. of that Act (of which many ss. relating to Crown debts are still upon the Statute Book) relating to the Court were repealed by the Statute Law Revision Act, 1863.
