When the Star Chamber was abolished in 1640' by act of Parliament the House of Commons set up' a licensing scheme to suppress the critical press, and in March of 1642 they enacted a law providing for a Committee for Examinations which had power to search for presses that are kept and employed in the printing of scandalous and lying pamphlets, and in June of 1643 Parliament issued its famous order on the subject where again they confessed that their previous orders had failed notwith standing the diligence of the Company of Stationers. Its preamble provided: Whereas divers good Orders have bin lately made by both Houses of Parliament, for suppressing the great late abuses and frequent disorders in Printing many, false forged, scan dalous, seditious, libellous, and un licensed Papers, Pamphlets, and Books to the great defamation of Religion and government.
