| | Misprision of felony - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Misprision of felony, under the common law of England, was the crime of failing to report knowledge of a felony to the appropriate authorities. | | | The term misprision can also be appled in some legal systems to a wilful act or omission by a person who is involved in or has knowledge of the facts of a crime, which causes in the end result an innocent person to be punished for the crime; e.g., a frame -up. | | | One form of this crime, misprision of treason, was frequently used in England during the 16th and 17th centuries to punish enemies of the crown. |

| | Misprision of treason - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Misprision of treason originates in the law of England and Wales as a common law offence. | | | Misprision of treason is an offence found in many common law jurisdictions, committed by someone who knows a treason is being or is about to be committed but does not report it to a proper authority. | | | It is therefore unusual in that it is a criminal offence which may be committed through inaction. |

| | Disobedience to any of these commands is a high misprision and contempt: and so, lastly, is disobedience to any act of parliament, where no particular penalty is assigned; for then it is punishable, like the rest of these contempts, by fine and imprisonment, at the discretion of the king's courts of justice. | | | And upon the same principle, while the jurisdiction of the star-chamber subsisted, it was held that the king might remit a prosecution for treason, and cause the delinquent to be censured in that court, merely for a high misdemeanor: as happened in the case of Roger earl of Rutland, in 43 Eliz. | | | For the punishment of misprision of treason is loss of the profits of lands during life, forfeiture of goods, and imprisonment during life. |
