COURT OF CHANCERY.
His Excellency the Governor is Chancellor, but he never sits nor interferes in any way with the Courts. It is held generally twelve times a year and is presided over by the Chief Justice, who is Vice-Chancellor. The jurisdiction and practice of this Court are nearly the same as the Court of Chancery in England. Appeals from its decisions are allowed direct to her Majesty in Council.

First Clerk, J. J. James

By a recent enactment, authority is given to direct disputed questions of fact to be tried by a jury. By 18 Vic. cap. 34 and 6 Vic. cap 55, the Governor, as Ordinary, is authorized to direct payment of costs, to issue attachments, and also to issue commissions for proving Wills in places out of the island.
Law No. 22 of 1874 confers a concurrent jurisdiction in matters not exceeding £200 on the District Courts. Amended by Law 22 of 1870.
