I'm sure that would have led to outcries of protest from Amnesty Middle-earth and a flood of outraged letters to King Elessar, maybe even an appeal to the United Downs (q.v.).

Right. I'm sure he did his bit of sneaking and informing, but I doubt there was any such thing as espionage or 'collaboration with hostile invaders' in hobbit law, and anything below murder or armed robbery was probably dealt with by informal sanctions like shunning.
As for Lobelia, it rather seems she was celebrated as a heroine of the resistance after making such valorous use of her umbrella against the ruffians.
