NURSE PUT IN COLD BATH
HAD BROKEN RULES
LONDON, March 12. Four nurses, who were each fined 10s and ordered to pay 13s costs, at the Moot Hall Police-court to-day, for assaulting another nurse, said it was a practice in hospitals for a nurse who disobeyed an instruction to be put in a bath of water by her colleagues. The Chairman, Sir Ralph Mortimer, said: “There may be this form of punishment among nurses at hospitals but it is not one to be encouraged." The prosecution said that Nurse Mabel Heron, 29, went home for a day when leave was stopped. When she returned the four defendants put her in a large-sized bath full of cold water.
