The last thing that I wish to do is to blacken Mr. Ayres' character in any way, but, in trying to prove that there was no negligence, it is important to show why the police took the steps they did, and that is why I took particular care to indicate the circumstances in which it was thought right to prosecute. I want to underline very clearly that there is no intention at all to blacken the character of Mr. Ayres in any way.
