As a part of English law, hue and cry has its origins in the centuries following the Norman conquest. At the sound of an official alarm such as a Trumpet, alarm bell or a shouted warning (the hue), all bystanders were obliged to assist in apprehending a criminal while adding their own shouts of alarm (the cry).
It first became part of written law during the 13th century but is likely to have earlier customary origins. Anyone not assisting in the arrest of a felon was committing an offence in law - so not taking part in a hue and cry was a crime in itself. This ensured that maximum effort was made by everyone in the community to apprehend criminals.
Although the system fell into disuse after the medieval period, the law itself remained in force until the Victorian era.
