Teller of the Receipt of the Exchequer
Teller of the Receipt of the Exchequer was an office of the English treasury.
The Tellers of the Exchequer received all of the money that was to be deposited into the Treasury, noted the amount in a book, and sent a copy to the Tally Court. At the end of each day, the money was deposited with the Treasury. During the reign of Richard the Lionheart , the office was created with ten officials. Henrich III. reduced it to four officials, with whom it remained for over six hundred years. Together with other offices in the old treasury, the office was dissolved on October 10, 1834. The tasks will be taken over by the newly created Comptroller General of the Exchequer.
