Chancellor \Chan"cel*lor\, n. [OE. canceler, chaunceler, F.
chancelier, LL. cancellarius chancellor, a director of
chancery, fr. L. cancelli lattices, crossbars, which
surrounded the seat of judgment. See Chancel.]
A judicial court of chancery, which in England and in the
United States is distinctively a court with equity
jurisdiction.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The chancellor was originally a chief scribe or
secretary under the Roman emperors, but afterward was
invested with judicial powers, and had superintendence
over the other officers of the empire. From the Roman
empire this office passed to the church, and every
bishop has his chancellor, the principal judge of his
consistory. In later times, in most countries of
Europe, the chancellor was a high officer of state,
keeper of the great seal of the kingdom, and having the
supervision of all charters, and like public
instruments of the crown, which were authenticated in
the most solemn manner. In France a secretary is in
some cases called a chancellor. In Scotland, the
appellation is given to the foreman of a jury, or
assize. In the present German empire, the chancellor is
the president of the federal council and the head of
the imperial administration. In the United States, the
title is given to certain judges of courts of chancery
or equity, established by the statutes of separate
States. --Blackstone. Wharton.

(Ezra 4:8, 9, 17).

4. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) |
CHANCELLOR. An officer appointed to preside over a court of chancery,
invested with various powers in the several states.
2. The office of chancellor is of Roman origin. He appears, at first,
to have been a chief scribe or secretary, but he was afterwards invested
with judicial power, and had superintendence over the other officers of the
empire. From the Romans, the title and office passed to the church, and
therefore every bishop of the catholic church has, to this day, his
chancellor, the principal judge of his consistory. When the modern kingdoms
of Europe were established upon the ruins of the empire, almost every state
preserved its chancellor, with different jurisdictions and dignities,
according to their different constitutions. In all he seems to have had a
supervision of all charters, letters, and such other public instruments of
the crown, as were authenticated in the most solemn manner; and when seals
came into use, he had the custody of the public seal.
3. An officer bearing this title is to be found in most countries of
Europe, and is generally invested with extensive authority. The title and
office of chancellor came to us from England. Many of our state
constitutions provide for the appointment of this officer, who is by them,
and by the law of the several states, invested with power as they provide.
