Excerpt from The Law and Practice of Interpleader in the High Court and County Courts: With a Chapter on the Conduct of an Interpleader Proceeding, and a Complete Appendix of Forms, Statutes, and Rules

Owing to the very limited number of cases in respect of which the old Courts of Common Law afforded relief by way of interpleader, and the pitfalls of the technical procedure, which had to be strictly observed, the bulk of the prayers for such relief in time came to be made to the Court of Chancery, which had assumed a con current jurisdiction in such matters with' the former Courts. In fact, the relief afforded by the Court of Chancery was so much more easily obtained, and was applicable to so much larger a number of.cases, that eventually it superseded that of the sister Courts almost entirely, as it is found that no applications for inter pleader relief appear to have been made in those Courts for some time prior to the Interpleader Act, 1831. This Act re-established the remedy in the Courts of Common Law, and in a much more convenient form than it had appeared there in former times.
