UNREGISTERED DENTIST.
DENTAL ASSOCIATION TAKES ACTION.
AUCKLAND, October 10. As. a sequel to the prosecution by the Auckland Dental Association of a man named Headdey, who was fined £3 for practising as an unregistered dentist, Alexander Howey Walker was charged before Air F. K. Hunt, S.AI., in the Police Court to-day, with permitting an unregistered person to practise. He was fined £3 and costs.
Air Aloody, who appeared for the association, said it was the aim of that body to stop the practice of allowing unregistered men to work in surgeries. Air Terry, who appeared for the defendant, said that Headdey was a thoroughly competent man, who had been in the profession for 25 years. He was unregistered because he had failed to pass all the groups of his examinations at the required time. Headdey had actually passed all the sections. It was not a serious matter, and when Walker found that Headdey had been served with a summons he had dispensed with his' services. Air Terry added that in view of the fact that Headdey had already ceased to practise and that he had left his former employer the present prosecution seemed rather futile.
