Remarks on informations in general from 1732 polemic
A reader letter discusses the Crown office informations as a tool of punitive public prosecution. It argues this practice grew after Star Chamber abolition, enabling arbitrary indictments by judges and ex officio prosecutors, risking vexatious prosecutions and arbitrary costs for the innocent. It cites Charles II and James II era abuses and notes the Crown bears uneven burden of costs.
