AN EPILEPTIC'S CRIME.

SUGGESTION BY JUDGE. A. and N.Z. LONI>ON, Oct. 15. Mr. Justice Roche, 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 all epileptics. Seymour could not be admitted to an asylum, but ho 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.
