EPILEPTICS.
PROPAGATION OF DISEASE AND CRIME. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION-COPYRIGHT • Received Oct. 16, 9.15 a.m. LONDON, Oct.. 1& Mr. Justice Roche, in sentencing. ■Charles Seymour, aged 27, who is an epileptic, to three years' penal servitude for stabbing a woman in Hyde Park, said he was sorry for al]i epileptics. Seymour could not be admitted to an asylum, but would be treated according to his health. He thought the medical profession would perform a public service if it earnestly studied the feasibility of sterilising both men and women epileptics, instead of allowing them to propagate disease and crime.—■ Aus.-N.Z.
