Ragsdale, for the violation of a city ordinance for the prevention of the spread of small-pox, in refusing to be vaccinated. To an order of the corporation court of the city dismissing an appeal from that judgment, this writ of error was granted. After the order of dismissal, the plaintiff in error, still refusing to pay the fine, was committed by order of the mayor to the custody of the keeper of the city jail, there safely to be kept until discharged by due course of law.
