Definition

From inspector + -ate (forms nouns denoting a rank or office, a body of people performing it, the concrete charge of it).

In various parts of China, some independent of Peking, others not, the local Tuchuns (military governors) impound the collections and materially diminish the total coming under the control of the foreign inspectorate, but the balance remaining has been so large, and protest so useless, that hitherto all concerned have considered it expedient to acquiesce. — The Problem of China, Bertrand Russell
