Berkeley County (W. Va.) Circuit Court
Chancery Causes are cases of equity. According to Black's Law Dictionary they are "administered according to fairness as contrasted with the strictly formulated rules of common law." A judge, not a jury, determines the outcome of the case.
Berkeley County (West) Virginia was named in honor of Norborne Berkeley, baron de Botetourt, for whom Botetourt County was also named. It was created from Frederick County in 1772. Berkeley County was one of the fifty western Virginia counties to form the state of West Virginia in 1863.
