EXCHEQUER OF THE JEWS
Line: 21 to 21
 As part of its functions, the Exchequer of the Jews controlled the system of officials within established Jewish communities, appointing and dismissing their officials as well as handling transactions. Monies collected by the Exchequer of the Jews were retained in a separate treasury, and were disbursed on the king's instructions. All money-lending transactions had to be registered in the archae (chests). When a debt became due, the Exchequer of the Jews would issue an authorization for the levying of the debt at the request of the creditor; only if the debtor had died would this need to be preceded by legal proceedings.

<		In addition, within the responsibilities of the Exchequer of the Jews was the "_Scaccarium Judaeorum_" which served as escheator—a doctrine which transfers the property of a person who dies without heirs to the crown or state. This serves to ensure that property was not left in "limbo" without recognized ownership. In effect it meant to take charge by tenements and chattels of Jews ensuring that fell into the king's hands following death or transgressions. [9]
