   Exchequer \Ex*cheq"uer\, n. [OE. escheker, OF. eichekier, fr.
      LL. scaccarium. See {Checker}, {Chess}, {Check}.]
      1. One of the superior courts of law; -- so called from a
            checkered cloth, which covers, or formerly covered, the
            table. [Eng.]
  
      Note: The exchequer was a court of law and equity. In the
               revenue department, it had jurisdiction over the
               proprietary rights of the crown against subjects; in
               the common law department, it administered justice in
               personal actions between subject and subject. A person
               proceeding against another in the revenue department
               was said to exchequer him. The judges of this court
               were one chief and four puisne barons, so styled. The
               Court of Exchequer Chamber sat as court of error in
               which the judgments of each of the superior courts of
               common law, in England, were subject to revision by the
               judges of the other two sitting collectively. Causes
               involving difficult questions of law were sometimes
               after argument, adjourned into this court from the
               other courts, for debate before judgment in the court
               below. Recent legislation in England (1880) has
               abolished the Court of Exchequer and the Court of
               Exchequer Chamber, as distinct tribunals, a single
               board of judiciary, the High Court of Justice, being
               established for the trial of all classes of civil
               cases. --Wharton.
  
      2. The department of state having charge of the collection
            and management of the royal revenue. [Eng.] Hence, the
            treasury; and, colloquially, pecuniary possessions in
            general; as, the company's exchequer is low.
  
      {Barons of the exchequer}. See under {Baron}.
  
      {Chancellor of the exchequer}. See under {Chancellor}.
  
      {Exchequer} {bills [or] bonds} (Eng.), bills of money, or
            promissory bills, issued from the exchequer by authority
            of Parliament; a species of paper currency emitted under
            the authority of the government, and bearing interest.
