England, as at present strued, had in many cases proved grievously unjust to newspaper de- fendants. The alleged libel, in 99 cases out of 100, resulted from a mistake. and in many cases arose out of a statement," the inaccuracy or implications of which could not have been guarded against.
"The present "state of the law" said Mr. Dawson, "is calculated to restrict the scope of free criticism, and to give newspapers pause be- fore they set out to expose a public scandal. An English Judge not long deceased said he knew there was a large number of fraudulent and undesirable persons who re- mained unexposed because of the severity of the rules of law with re- spect to defendants.. in cases of defamation, and he described the circumstances of many attempts to extort damages from newspaper proprietors as little better than disguised blackmall;""

Mr. Dawson stated that amend- ments of the law, which reason and
