Committee said umpire is wrong (10)
I believe the answer is:
praesidium
'committee' is the definition.
(praesidium is a kind of committee)
'said umpire is wrong' is the wordplay.
'is wrong' indicates anagramming the letters.
'said'+'umpire'='saidumpire'
'saidumpire' with letters rearranged gives 'PRAESIDIUM'.
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
