A DOCTOR CRITICISED
JUDGE’S SCATHING COMMENTS. EVIDENCE IN WILL CASE. (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) SYDNEY, October 3. (Received Oct. 3, at 11 p.m.) In giving judgment in a will suit in which undue influence ’ was alleged against the testator’s widow, Mrs Jessie Massy, of Gundaroo, Mr Justice Davidson scathingly criticised a leading Sydney practitioner, Dr Chisholm Ross, whose evidence related to the testator’s testamentary capacity. The judge, after adversely commenting on the doctor’s evidence, said: “ I can only say that when a man sets himself up as a mental specialist and acts as Dr Chisholm Ross has done in this suit, he 'is nothing less than a menace to the public and a disgrace to hi s profession.” The judge dismissed the widow’s .suit asking that probate be granted to her and another executor.
