This series contains informations brought by the Attorney-General on behalf of the various revenue departments, with related pleadings. After 1841, their immediate purpose was to inform the court that there were grounds for bringing a legal action.
The informations arise from alleged failure to pay specified duties or taxes, failure to render accounts, and interruptions of Crown leases or intrusion into Crown lands. They include cases on succession duty, corporation and income tax, and the duty on the incremented value of land; hackney carriage licences; breaches of customs and excise regulations; and cases involving railway companies.
