'for a second time call forth' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'magistrate to describe fine' is the wordplay.
'magistrate' becomes 'reeve' (type of historical legal official).
'to describe' is an insertion indicator.
'fine' becomes 'ok' (synonyms).
'reeve' going around 'ok' is 'RE-EVOKE'.
