About Alfred John Monson

The Ardlamont Mystery, was the death by shooting of Cecil Hambrough in Argyll, Scotland, on 10 August 1893. Defendant Alfred John Monson received the Scottish verdict of "not proven" in his High Court of Justiciary trial for the murder of Hambrough in HM Advocate v Monson. In 1894, Monson sued Madame Tussauds in Monson v Tussauds Ltd for libel and was awarded one farthing in damages. The case established the principle of "libel by innuendo" in English law, and Monson v Tussauds Ltd has been used to draw up defamation laws in many countries since.
