 referee, two engineers will be appointed, who will be sole Judges of steam-engines, 

 and of steam-power generally, considered in a scientific and mechanical point of 

 view, without reference to the application of such power to agricultural machinery j

 of the other Judges, a statement of the power applied to the machinery under the 

 consideration of any such Judges. 



14. The other Judges will judge the work done by any agricultural machine to 

 which steam or other power is applied ; but they will be instructed to pay every 

 attention to the report of the engineers in forming their judgment of the work of 

 the machinery on which they are called to adjudicate.

 where practicable, steam-power should be adopted instead of horses, as the most 

 accurate test of the relative working of machinery.
