LAGUERRE, See also:JEAN See also:HENRI GEORGES (1858— ) , See also:French lawyer and politician, was See also:born in See also:Paris on the 24th of See also:June 1858. Called to the See also:bar in 1879, he distinguished himself by brilliant pleadings in favour of socialist and anarchist leaders, defending See also:Prince Kropotkine at See also:Lyons in 1883, See also:Louise See also:Michel in the same See also:year; and in 1886, with A. See also:Millerand as colleague he defended Ernest See also:Roche and Duc See also:Quercy, the instigators of the See also:Decazeville strike. His strictures on the procureur de la Republique on this occasion being declared libellous he was suspended for six months and in 1890 he again incurred suspension for an attack on the See also:attorney-See also:general, See also:Quesnay de Beaurepaire. He also pleaded in the greatest criminal cases of his See also:time, though from 1893 onwards exclusively in the provinces, his exclusion from the Parisian bar having been secured on the pretext of his connexion with La Presse. He entered the Chamber of Deputies for See also:Apt in 1883 as a representative of the extreme revisionist See also:programme, and was one of the leaders of the Boulangist agitation. He had formerly written for Georges See also:Clemenceau's See also:organ La See also:Justice, but when Clemenceau refused to impose any See also:shibboleth on the See also:radical party he became director of La Presse. He rallied to the republican party in May 1891, some months before General See also:Boulanger's See also:suicide. He was notre-elected to the Chamber in 1893. Laguerre was an excellent lecturer on the revolutionary See also:period of French See also:history, concerning which he had collected many valuable and rare documents. He interested himself in the See also:fate of the " Little Dauphin " (See also:Louis XVII.), whose supposed remains, buried at Ste See also:Marguerite, he proved to be those of a boy of fourteen.
