For a similar offence Sidney J. Hall was fined £2 and costs. A fine of a like amount was imposed on Hall in respect to a further charge of holding himself out by implication as being' prepared to practice dentistry in that he used the words “dental technician.” The amount of the penalty in the ease of Rau was increased in order that an appeal might be lodged. In referring to Hull’s case Mr Hunt said it was clear from tho evidence that the defendant used tho word “technician” to delude the public into thinking that he was a qualified dentist'. Tho Act was designed for the purpose of protecting the public and also young men who had to pursue lengthy studies to qualify as dentists.
