cursitor baron

cursitor baron. Hist. An officer of the Court of Exchequer with administrative, but not judicial, duties. • Over time, as the Barons of the Exchequer took on more judicial rather than fiscal duties, the need for someone with financial experience became apparent. So in 1610 a cursitor baron was appointed to sit alongside the judges. The office was abolished in 1856.
