or Ambulatory. They give in France the name of ambulant commissioners to those commissioners, or clerks of the king's farms, who have no settled office; but visit all the offices within a certain district, to see that nothing be done in them against the king's right and the interest of the farm.

Ambulant is also used to denote those brokers at Amsterdam, or exchange agents, who have not been sworn before the magistrates. They transact brokerage business, but their testimony is not received in the courts of justice.
