Clerk of Nichils

Read a random definition: tax-exempt income

A quick definition of Clerk of Nichils:

A Clerk of Nichils was an officer in English law who dealt with debts owed to the Exchequer's office that were deemed nonleviable by sheriffs. These debts were called nichils, which means "nothing" in Latin. The Clerk of Nichils enrolled these debts once a year and sent them to the treasurer's remembrancer's office for recovery. The term nichil can also be used as a verb, meaning to make a return that a debt is worthless because the debtor cannot be found or is unable to pay. Both the Clerk of Nichils and the treasurer's remembrancer's office were abolished in 1833.
