Exchequer Chamber

Court of. A court of appeals in England, established to correct the errors of the thi-ee superior courts of common law, (the Queen's Bench, Common Pleas and Exchequer,) consisting of any two of these courts, sitting as a court of error to revise the judgment of the third. This is the modern constitution of the court by statutes 1 1 Geo. IV. and 1 Will. IV. c.

70, s. 8. 3 Steph. Com. 419.

It also exists as a court of mere debate, such causes from the other courts being sometimes adjourned into it, as the judges, upon argument, find to be of great weight and difficulty, before any judgment is given upon them in the court below. Id. ibid.
