Ginmisuji - Ginmisuji

Japanese: 吟味筋 - ぎんみすじ

One of the legal procedures in the Edo period. It was for the deiri-suji (entrance and exit) and involved the judicial authorities (such as the magistrate) investigating crimes with their own authority, regardless of whether a complaint was filed or not, and summoning the suspect for questioning by the police (police officer) or by issuing a summons (subpoena) or summons summons (in cases of serious crimes, the lord or land steward of the suspect had the suspect arrested and sent to the police). In the deiri-suji, as a rule, private settlements were not allowed, and cases that were reported in the deiri-suji were sometimes switched to the deiri-suji. Cases subject to this procedure were called deiri-mono, and included murder of one's master, murder of one's parents, murder of another, robbery, arson, and arrest of another. Cases for questioning of samurai who had been granted an audience with the emperor or higher were called sengi-mono, and special divisions called san-te-kake and go-te-kake were temporarily set up by the order of the rōjū to try them.

Japanese:

江戸時代の訴訟手続の一つ。出入 (でいり) 筋に対するもので，裁判機関 (町奉行など) が訴えの有無にかかわらず，職権をもって犯罪を探査し，捕方 (とりかた。警吏) の手で召捕 (めしとり。逮捕) ，あるいは裁判機関の差紙 (さしがみ。召喚状) または手当呼出──被疑者の領主・地頭などをして，これを逮捕送致させることで，重罪の場合に行われた──をもって被疑者を召喚して吟味する手続である。なお，吟味筋では，原則として内済 (ないさい) は許されず，また出入筋で訴えられた事件でも吟味筋に切り替えられることもあった。この手続にかかる事件を吟味物といい，これには主殺，親殺，人殺，盗賊，火付，人勾引などがある。また，御目見以上の武士の吟味物は，特に詮議物と呼び，老中の命によって臨時に三手掛，五手掛という特別の係りを設けて裁判した。
