the court for the trial of impeachments, and the correction of errors was established by the new york state constitution of 1777. it consisted then of the lieutenant governor of new york (who is ex officio president of the state senate), the chancellor, the justices of the new york supreme court and the members of the new york state senate. it had two distinct jurisdictions: the trial of state officers who had been impeached by the new york state assembly, and it served as a court of last resort in which decisions of either the new york supreme court or the chancellor could be reversed.
