Explanation:
上記の二つの回答はとても的を得ていますが、以下にlaw dictionary の定義をご紹介します。ご参考までに。 Versesは明らかにVs. バーサスですね。

Crown は次のように定義されています。Crown
The word refers specifically to the British Monarch, where she is the head of state of Commonwealth countries. Prosecutions and civil cases taken (or defended) by the government are taken in the name of the Crown as head of state. That is why public prosecutors are referred to, in Canada, as "Crown" prosecutors and criminal cases take the form of "The Crown vs. John Doe" or "Regina vs. John Doe", Regina being Latin for "The Queen."
Duheim's Law dictionary

CROWN. A covering for the head, commonly used by kings; figuratively, it signifies royal authority. By pleas of the crown, are understood criminal actions.
Bouvier's Law Dictionary

crown verses...
国王対・・・


Explanation:
イギリスの司法制度の及ぶ範囲では刑事事件は国王(crown)の名で訴追することになっているようです。ちなみに刑事法院は"Crown Court"。米国の場合、州政府対XXX、連邦政府対XXX。テキストでは不注意な運転・・・とあるので、国による訴追と思われます。
