摘要

1911年的一场刑事诽谤审判使君主对他的一个臣民不利。爱德华·米利厄斯重复了一个谣言，指责国王乔治五世与玛丽王后结婚，而实际上，国王已经秘密地娶了别人，并有了三个孩子。刑事指控、将问题提交法庭的程序、向相关大臣(包括担任内政大臣的温斯顿·丘吉尔)提出的建议以及审判本身都延伸了公平的界限。审判的遗留问题造成了一个挥之不去的问题。君主是否可以被要求以证人的身份出现在他或她自己的法庭上，以支持个人投诉，从而面对直接审查?

The Missing Witness? George V, Competence and Compellability and the Criminal Libel Trial of Edward Frederick Mylius

A criminal libel trial in 1911 set the monarch against one of his subjects. Edward Mylius repeated a rumour that accused King George V of marrying Queen Mary when – secretly – the King had already married someone else and had three children. The criminal charge, the process used to bring the issue to court, the advice to the King of the relevant Ministers (including Winston Churchill as Home Secretary) and the trial itself stretched the boundaries of fairness. The legacy of the trial created a lingering problem. Can the monarch ever be required to face the direct scrutiny of examination by being required to appear as a witness in his or her own court to support a personal complaint?

期刊介绍： The Journal of Legal History, founded in 1980, is the only British journal concerned solely with legal history. It publishes articles in English on the sources and development of the common law, both in the British Isles and overseas, on the history of the laws of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, and on Roman Law and the European legal tradition. There is a section for shorter research notes, review-articles, and a wide-ranging section of reviews of recent literature.
