Dear Mrs Houghton JONES

RE : THE LAYING OF CRIMINAL INFORMATIONS

You will find attached to this letter a number of criminal informations which I should like you consider as having been hereby formally laid before your Court.

As you will see from even the briefest perusal of the first Information the allegations set out therein are of an unusual and dramatic nature to say the very least. Let me be perfectly candid, I'm sure that in many respects this attempt to seek the initiation of a criminal prosecution, in the usual manner of form, for the offence disclosed in my Informations and against the three principal Persons I thereby accuse, is frankly unprecedented in the history of the criminal justice system of this nation state.

I am part Celt and part Viking in ancestory and I live in the very West of Wales, so that it may not surprise you then to learn that the notion of attempting to act in an wholly unprecedented and unheard of manner, before a Court of Anglo-Norman legal juridiction located in deepest Westminster, doesn't actually fill me with the same trepidation and uncertainty that one might perhaps be forgiven for expecting from say your average Englishman.

That said I have taken the trouble to transmit the information to your Court over the electronic highways for two principal reasosns.

Firstly, each of the three Accused Persons are much more native to your Bro ( "manor") than they are to mine. To wit they are respectively the Prime Minister (10 Downing St), the Foreign Secretary (the FCO)and the Defence Secretary (the MOD). Furthermore, the actus reus of the offence with which I have accused each of these gentlemen respectively, both in their personal and their official capacities alternatively, has most certainly been committed more within your local jurisdiction than within that of my local magistrates' court, although I naturally appreciate that this is more an administrative issue than a jurisdictional or legal one.

Secondly, as I trust you'll appreciate from my perspective, the crimminal conduct about which I hereby complain is on-going, and more over of the most heinous, grave, nay monumental character imaginable. Moreover, as I see it the speediest processing of the issue is naturally of the utmost urgency and exigency as well as therefore of the most important public interest in seeing that the matter be placed before examinig magistrates as soon as practicable.

I appreciate that in practical terms you will now either (i) dismiss my information forthwith or else, (ii) consider that some form of execeptional hearing inter parties is warranted in this unusual instance before one or more Justices, to make a determination about the appropriate next step.

In the former case all I ask is that you have due and proper regard to your administrative law duties and obligations to give reasonable grounds for you decision. All the better that I might seek urgent judicial review of your decision before the Administrative Court with clarity and certainty. In the latter case, if you could act to arrange such a hearing with due regard to the extreme exigency of the situation I undertake to make myself available to appear as and when you request.

In either case I have also taken the trouble to attach hereto a List of Potential Issues, which I have numbered sequentially, and which I foresee might conceivably arise in your mind as needing to be addressed and considered before you, or any of your Justices, could decide how to proceed further. I have further attached a sheet which deals in brief with a written exposition on some only of the most easily presented issues.

In conclusing, all that I now ask is that, before you decide not to act on my Informations, you indicate to me whether you are minded to make your decision based, in whole or in part, upon any of the issues I have set out in the list; in which event I can immediately send to you by reply the brief written argument which I have already prepared under that number in the list; or in the event that there is a ground which I have not foreseen, then merely indicate the character of the consideration and I undertake to respond in writing by the next day. In either event I trust that you'll concur with me when I say that observance of even basic principles of natural justice demand, that I be given a fair and reasonable opportunity to present argument in support of my case and been given fair and reasonable notice of the grounds upon which you are minded to refuse me, that I might be able to address my arguments in the appropriate direction.

Yours Sincerely,

Robert L. MANSON
