After putting further questions to witness, Mr. Schuhl observed.—It is practically impossible for me to examine this witness. He answered all the questions put to him by Mr. Kentwell, but he refuses and dodges every question I ask.
His Lordship.—As J have already said, he is here as a matter of courtesy, and I have no power to tell him to attend or tell him to answer questions, Mr. Schuhl.—Will the Court en-terrain a motion to strike out his testimony in chief His Lordsttip—You have had answers to all your questions so far.
Mr. Schuhl.—Do you remember the case of Mrs. Baer?
Dr. Fresson.—That case has nothing to do with this and I don't remember anything about it.
Mr. Schuhl.—Did you have a consultation with Dr. Martin in that case, and was there a conflicting diagnosis?
Dr. Fresson.—I_ refuse to answer.
Mr. Schuhl.—Did Dr. Martin diagnose the case as one of tumour and you diagnosed it as something else, and was it not found later that Dr. Martin was correct Dr. Fresson.—What has that w do with this case?
Mr. Schuhl.—This witness is cailed_as an expert.
His Lordship.—I need not repeat what I have said.
Dr. Ford, who said he had been a medical officer in the U. S. Army for 24 year's, was the next-witness. It was conventional and regular, he said, for a physician to administer morphine in cases of acute pain, even if the temperature was high.
In answer to Mr. Kentwell, witness said he was not practising in Shanghai, and was not a member of the Medical Society. aA!
This closed the case for plaintiff.
