A DEFENDED ACTION. The hearing of the case in which. Dr. J M Christie sued H.

Kennedv for the defendant. The dt-fendant disclaimed liability on ths ground that h© had not engaged the nlaintiff or authorised his attendance. The magistrate held that the defendant's action in calling on. Dr. Christie prior to an operation being performed natl led the plaintiff to believe that he was sanctioning it. Judgment must therefore be for the plaintiff with costs.
