Remembrancer

Remembrancer, KING'S or QUEEN'S, an officer of the old Exchequer of England, whose duty it was to remind the judges of that court at the proper times that such and such things had to be attended to, and also to keep certain records and make out processes. Since the constitution of the Supreme Court (q.v.) the queen's remembrancer has been at the head of a department of the central office of that court. The Scottish exchequer is still presided over by the queen's and lord treasurer's remembrancer.
