Charge Jkgainst Doctor
(P.A.) DUNEDIN, April 9. In the Magistrate’s Court today Robert Findlay Allan, a medical practitioner, was charged with supplying incorrect or misleading particulars relating to an application by Philip Idour for a motor driver’s licence. It was alleged that in support of his application Idour submitted a certificate given by Dr Allan, who had exammed him on October 2 for the purpose of manpower requirements, to the effect that he had cardiac disease and was not nt for heavy work. At the same time he produced a later certificate from Dr Allan which stated that pulsations of the heart were natural and the sounds those of health. After considerable evidence had been heard counsel for the defence submitted that the prosecution would not lie in law because the opinion given was the defendant’s opinion and no matter how unsound it might be it was his opinion and was removed from misrepresentation. The hearing was adjourned till Monday. _______
