Pleas of the Crown
c. Pleas of the Crown [after post-classical Latin placita Coronae (1130, 1215, 1586 in British sources)] : (originally) legal proceedings in which the Crown had a financial interest (as by exacting a fine), as distinct from those involving claims between subjects (cf. Common Pleas n.); (later) all criminal as opposed to civil proceedings, being regarded as conduct committed against the Crown (in Scotland, historically limited to proceedings concerned with murder, rape, robbery, and arson). Now historical.
ΘΚΠ
