A Commission of Oyer and Terminer was a legal
commission issued in England, authorizing judges to hear and determine criminal
cases, particularly those involving serious offenses like treason, felonies,
and misdemeanors. It literally means to hear and determine in Anglo-French,
reflecting its purpose of both investigating and adjudicating cases. By the
commission of oyer and terminer the commissioners (in practice the judges of
assize, though other persons were named with them in the commission) were
commanded to make diligent inquiry into all treasons, felonies and
misdemeanours whatever committed in the counties specified in the commission,
and to hear and determine the same according to law. The inquiry was by means
of the grand jury; after the grand jury had found the bills of indictment
submitted to it, the commissioners proceeded to hear and determine by means of
the petit jury. The words oyer and terminer were also used to denote the court
that had jurisdiction to try offences within the limits to which the commission
of oyer and terminer extended.
