I have revised the entry to acknowledge that the reforms in England were prompted in part by the abolition of the New York Court of Chancery in 1847. More detailed investigation would be needed to confirm whether other American states abolished their Courts of Chancery between 1847 and 1873, or whether they did indeed follow the English reform.Ntmr (talk) 11:37, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
The research above would need someone with greater knowledge of US Legal History than have I. (I would also be grateful if anyone can point me towards a suitable citation to back up my belief that the experience in New York influenced the abolition of the Court of Chancery and the fusion of its jurisdiction in the High Court in England and Wales).Ntmr (talk) 18:33, 31 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
"The Court has one Chancellor, who is the chief judicial officer of the Court, and four Vice Chancellors."
