If such records are lost by fire, riot, or civil commotion, such judge may appoint a commissioner to take testimony and report it with his findings thereon, in matters of their restoration. All such evidence shall be taken before such commissioner unless, upon the application of the parties, a reference is ordered to a special master commissioner, in which case the costs of reference shall be paid by the parties.
