The Court of Delegates, or High Court of Delegates, was a court of appeals from the Court of Arches (Province of Canterbury) and the Court of Chancery (Province of York), including their peculiars, royal peculiars, and the Irish probate courts. "It was so called because the Judges were delegated for each particular case... The High Court of Delegates was abolished in 1832 when the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council was established ...Wills [continued to be] proved before the latter body until the creation of the Court of Probate [1857]." <ref name="null">Harwood.
