ACTION AGAINST A DOCTOR.
ALLEGED UNSKILFUL TREATMENT. [by telegraph.— association.] Westport, Thursday. At the District Court to-day, before Judge Ward, and a jury of four, an action was commenced for £500, general and special damages, for alleged unskilful treatment of the plaintiff, G. Ferguson, master tailor, by the defendant, Alfred Wright, a wellknown local medical man. The plaintiff was thrown off his horse and sustained injuries to his shoulder. He was treated by the defendant, and subsequently visited the Wellington Hospital, where an operation to reduce the dislocation was unsuccessful. The evidence is voluminous, and the case is not likely to conclude before tomorrow night.
