AVOIDED THE LAW.
Vaccination Refused an Infant Daughter
Acr1ss the Water.

LONDON, England, October 20.-
At the Westminster police court o-day
Justice She'll presiding, Ferdinand
Longman, working cabinet maker
residing in Chelsea, appeared in res
ponse to summons charging him
with refusing to allow the vaccination,
in accordance with the law, OF his
infant daughter, Ada Louise. Long
man has large family and this is the
sixty fifth time that he has appeared
before the bench for placing one or
another of his children out of the jnris-
diction of the vaccination officer. The
most extraordinary feature of the pres
ent case, however, Is the fact that the
child concerned died two months ago
yesterday and is inferred in Hanwell
cemetery. Longman was originally
summoned during the first week in
August, but in consequence of his i'll
health the proceedings were ad djourned
until to-day and the child has died in.
the interim. This defendant, who has
been prominent in the agitation against
the enforcement of the vaccination
laws, pleaded 40 jurisdiction, the evil
dence in the case being no longer In
existence.
The court took the matter under ad-
visement.
