A quick definition of chief baron:

A Chief Baron was the presiding judge of the English Court of Exchequer. This court was responsible for dealing with financial matters of the government. The Chief Baron was the most important judge in this court. However, the office was abolished in 1880 and the Lord Chief Justice of England became the presiding judge through the Judicature Act of 1925.

The Barons of the Exchequer were the six judges of the Court of Exchequer. This court dealt with financial matters of the government. After the transfer of the Court's jurisdiction to the High Court of Justice in 1873, the judges were known as justices of the High Court. They were also called barones scaccarii.

A more thorough explanation:

A Chief Baron is a historical term used to refer to the presiding judge of the English Court of Exchequer. This court was responsible for dealing with financial matters related to the Crown, such as taxes and revenue collection.

The position of Chief Baron was abolished in 1880 after the death of Chief Baron Kelly. The Judicature Act of 1925 then made the Lord Chief Justice of England the presiding judge.

The Barons of the Exchequer were the six judges who served on the Court of Exchequer. This court was responsible for handling financial disputes and collecting taxes for the Crown.

After the transfer of the Court's jurisdiction to the High Court of Justice in 1873, the judges were known as Justices of the High Court.

For example, if someone had a dispute with the Crown over taxes owed, they would have to appear before the Barons of the Exchequer to have their case heard and decided upon.
