5. To represent injuries, particularly in a writ of Audita Querela.
COMPLAIN
v.t.To lament; to bewail. They might the grievance inwardly complain.
This use of complain is uncommon, and hardly legitimate. The phrase is properly elliptical.

It differs from an information, which is the prosecution of an offender by the Attorney or Solicitor General; and from a presentment and indictment, which are the accusation of a Grand Jury.
