[edit]The Exchequer Division was one of the original divisions of the High Court. It was created in 1875 through the merger of the Court of Exchequer into the High Court. The six existing Barons of the Exchequer were transferred to the new Exchequer Division, and retained their previous titles until they left office.

The head of the Division was the Chief Baron of the Exchequer; the post was was abolished along with the Common Pleas Division in 1881, and its powers vested in the Lord Chief Justice.
