He'll not put his head in chancery, that's clear. (Fr. Marryat, ‘Newton Forster’, ch. XLVII) — Он не станет совать голову в петлю - это ясно.

His head seemed to be in chancery for anyone to punch, most galling of experiences to anyone of high spirit. (J. Galsworthy, ‘Maid in Waiting’, ch. III) — Ему казалось, что голова его, как у боксера, зажата под рукой противника и в любой момент по ней может щелкнуть кто хочет - самое отвратительное ощущение для самолюбивого человека.

...he thought of Irene in her lonely flat, and of Soames in his lonely office, and of the strange paralysis of life that lay on them both. ‘In chancery!’ he thought. ‘Both their necks in chancery - and hers so pretty!’ (J. Galsworthy, ‘In Chancery’, part I, ch. VIII) — ...он думал об Ирэн в ее одинокой квартирке, и о Сомсе в его одинокой конторе, и о том, как странно парализована жизнь у обоих. "В петле, - подумал он, - и тот, и другой, и ее красивая шейка - в петле"
