[Anglo-French eschecker eschequ(i)er, from Old French eschequier royal treasury, reckoning board or cloth marked with squares, literally, chessboard, from eschec chess] 1. cap A royal office in medieval England at first responsible for the collection and management of the royal revenue and later for the adjudication of revenue cases 2. cap A former superior court having law and equity jurisdiction in England and Wales over primarily revenue cases and now merged with the Queen\'s Bench Division of the High Court of Justice called also Court of the Exchequer - The Exchequer was created in England by the Norman kings. In addition to being divided into a court of common law and a court of equity, at one point the Exchequer also had jurisdiction over all actions, except those involving real property, between two subjects of the Crown. In 1841, the Exchequer\'s equity jurisdiction, except over revenue cases, was transferred to the Court of Chancery, and in 1881 the Exchequer was merged into the Queen\'s Bench Division of the High Court of Justice. 3. often cap The office in Great Britain and Northern Ireland responsible for the collection and care of the national revenue. Exchequer The Exchequer was that part of the government responsible for the management and collection of the royal revenues of the King of England. At an early stage (certainly by 1190) it split into a purely administrative part (the Exchequer of Receipt) which collected revenue, and a judicial part the Exchequer of Pleas, which was a court concerned with the King\'s revenue. Originally the Exchequer referred to a large table, 10 feet by 5, on which counters were placed representing various values. According to the Dialogue concerning the Exchequer -- an early Medieval work describing the practice of the Exchequer -- the name referred to the resemblance of the table with that of a chess board. The term \"Exchequer\" then came to refer to the twice yearly meetings held at Easter and Michaelmas at which government financial business was transacted and an audit held of sheriff\'s returns. Under Henry I, the procedure for the audit adopted would involve the Treasurer drawing up a summons which would be sent to each Sheriff, which they would be required to answer. The Treasurer would call on each Sheriff to give account of Royal income in their Shire. The Chancellor of the Exchequer would then question them concerning debts owed by private individuals. The results of the audit were recorded in a series of records known as the Pipe Rolls The Exchequer became unnecessary as a revenue collecting department as a result of Pitt\'s reforms. It was abolished in 1834. Those government departments collecting revenue paid it directly to the Bank of England By extension exchequer has come to mean the Treasury; and, colloquially, pecuniary possessions in general; as, \'the company\'s exchequer\' is low. http://www.answers.com/exchequer Reference: http://www.wordreference.com/es/en/translation.asp?spen=erar... |
