JEWS, E.XCHEQUEB OF THE. In early English historj-, the Jews did not form an integral part of the body politic, but constituted a special sta- tus, dependent directly upon the Cro^vn, and sub- ject to any restrictions and exactions the King might impose upon them. In 1194 proctors or judges were appointed to deal with cases in which Jews were concerned. In the thirteenth century these officials presided over the exchequer cham- ber set apart for Jewish revenue and accounts, and were sometimes known as 'justiciars deputed to the charge of the Jews,' sometimes as 'justi- ciars of the exchequer of the .Jewry.' In their ju- dicial capacity these officials tried offenses in which non-Jews would have had to appear before the King's ordinary justices: they also decided civil suits between Jews, or between Jews on the one hand and Christians on the other. As fiscal officials, they presided over the Exchequer Cham- ber of the .Jews, and saw that all claims which the King had against Jews, or arising out of transactions in which Jews were involved, were presented and enforced. They provided the sheriif of each county with lists of the sums which lie was expected to collect from the Jews; they kept records of royal claims on the Jews and their debtors, and administered property that came into the King's hands on account of the Jews. In the first instance the Jewish revenue was paid into the great exchequer, whence it was transferred to the exchequer of the Jews, to be kept until the King needed it. The institution disappeared with the expulsion of the Jews under Edward I. JEWS'BTJIIY, Gebaldixe Exdsok (1812-80). An English novelist.

An early acquaintance with Thomas Car- lyle and his wife, and other literary and artisti.^ celebrities helped to develop her powers, and her first novel, Zoe. the History of Two Lives ( 1845), was the forerunner of a succession of works, which include The Half Sisters (1848); Marian Withers (1851); The History of an Adopted Child (18.52) ; Angela, or the Pine Forest in the Alps (1855): Constance Herbert (1855); The Sorrows of Gentility (1850); and Right or Wrong (1859).
