§ MR. THOMAS BAYLEY (Derbyshire, Chesterfield)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board, whether he is aware that a fifth summons has been taken out against 1678 William Guest, of Quinton, by the Stourbridge Guardians for refusing to vaccinate, and that the said William Guest has been imprisoned several times under the Vaccination Acts, and on one occasion was sentenced to hard labour contrary to law; and, whether he will advise the Guardians that the case comes within the letter to the Evesham Guardians and should not be prosecuted?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. T. W. RUSSELL,) Tyrone, S.I have no reason to doubt the accuracy of the statement in question as to the proceedings which have been instituted against William Guest for the non-vaccination of his children. I have directed that a copy of the Evesham letter should be forwarded to the Guardians of the Stourbridge Union.
