CERTAINTY INFORMNS ex Officio Trial at Bar
Upon occasion of the There is a Statute made in the reign of K. G. 21 G.I. c.4. which directs
that all Actions brought upon any Statutes by the
formers for the penalties inflicted by those Statutes
should be laid brought no value but in in the Counties where the offences
were committed — [Sr Edw. Coke tells us] that one
of the mischiefs which it was the design if that
Statute to redress was, if we may believe Sr Edw Coke+ + 2. Inst. 792 that many "Common Informers"
"and many times the King's Attorney" (which he
had pretty good opportunity of knowing having
"been in that office himself) "drew all information"
"for any offence in any place written the Realm of England
"against any Penal Law, to some of the King's
"Courts at Westminster, to the intolerable charge"
"vexation and trouble of the subject."
