The Law of Libel and Slander: The Evidence Procedure and Practice Both in Civil and Criminal Cases and Precedents of Pleadings With a Chapter on the Newspaper Libel and Registration Act 1881 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Law of Libel and Slander: The Evidence Procedure and Practice Both in Civil and Criminal Cases and Precedents of Pleadings With a Chapter on the Newspaper Libel and Registration Act 1881<br><br>Every reported case decided in England or Ireland during the last fifteen years has been noticed. Every case reported in England during this century has I believe been considered and mentioned unless it has either been distinctly overruled or has become obsolete by a change in the practice of the Courts or by the repeal of some statute on which it depended. The earlier cases have been more sparingly cited but I think no case of importance since 1558 has been overlooked. The leading American decisions have also been referred to and whenever the American law differs from our own the distinction has been pointed out and explained. Canadian and Australian decisions have also been quoted whenever the English law was doubtful or silent on the point. The cases have been brought down to the early part of January 1881.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
