I well. t,u the iid Januail he te,cbtered the chill

the child had not been vaccinated. and was quite well. lie
inquired why the child hail not been vaccinated, and wan
told that the father objected to it, and would sooner pay
the fine than bare it done.

Mr. Elliott (to defendant)—What answer have you to
make to the complainant
Defendant—ln the first place, I do not consider, and
am satisfied vaccination, instead of a preventive, is—
Mr. Elliott—l cannot go into the policy of the law.
Defendant—l consider I have a right to protest against
such law, and do not think a parent should be obliged to
have his childien inoculated with poison. -My eldest
child was healthy until it had been vaccinated, hut since
then bar been suffering, and is now only rees,vering.
Mr. Elliott—l have nothing to do with that. Here is
the law, and it must be nrried out.
Defendant—l also, in the second place, hold in my
hand a certificate from a medical gentleman to show that
Toy child is not in a tit condition to be vac.:inated. I also
again prote,t against nosh a scandalous act.
Mr Irvine—The certificate in dated but yesterday, and
I contend that can have nothing to do with the prevent
proceeding. The form also handed to all parties on regi
tratien allows for a child being in an unlit state, and
should be filled up. and PO returned to the registrar. In
this ease, likewise, there is a persistent refusal to
vaccinate, and 'Jailer the instruction of the board of
guardians I press for a conviction.

" POIATti " RIOTO IN Cush(.—What are called
" potato riots" have again broken out in Cork, and a
mob, composed principally of the poorer class of women
and children, ate cortrfig on a savage war sigain,t

quence of purchasing large quantities of potatoes for ax-
tation, befoul they can reach the market. The women
lay in wait on the roads by which the farmers' carts ar-
rived, and carried them off in triumph to the market for
the purpose of keeping the prices down. A good deal of
rioting took place on Wednesday, and the lice were
obliged to arrest four of the women etagagedin it. Ex-
