The man stated that he had had experience, but it was discovered later that he had none, having been a blacksmith, the latter confession being made when Tweedie presented a doctor’s certificate that he was suffering from neurasthenia. It was then discovered that his business was a failure. The case was brought as a warning, the Board not pressing for a penalty.
