  Exchequer - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The Michaelmas and Easter exchequers were the sessions of this court " at the exchequer " or chess-board as it had previously sat " at the tallies." The constitution of the court was that of the normal Frankish curia.
In the upper exchequer the justiciar appointed the calculator, who exhibited the state of each account by means of counters on the exchequer table, so that the proceedings of the court might be clear to the presumably illiterate sheriff.
Exchequer bills, which date from the reign of William and Mary (they took the place of the tallies, previously used for the same purpose), became extinct in 1897, but exchequer bonds (first issued by Mr Gladstone in 1853) still possess a practical importance.

 A brief history of the Treasury
For most of the mediaeval period the office of the Treasurer was within the Exchequer, which managed and accounted for the royal revenue, as well as collecting and issuing money.
Because the Exchequer was so ineffective, it tended to be bypassed by monarchs until reformed by the Lord Treasurer Winchester and his successor, Burghley, under Elizabeth 1.  By 1584, the deficit had been turned into a surplus equivalent to one year’s revenue. ; Elizabeth called Burghley “Both her Treasurer and her principal treasure.”;
The Exchequer was finally abolished in 1833 when the Treasury became a ministerial department under the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
