His Lordship—Can they?

Witness—If you wish to practise in the General Hospital or the Victoria Nursing" Home you must be registered by your consulate.

His Lordship—If not, you need not be registered anywhere?

Witness—I don't know. I am registered at the American Consulate, and can practise at these hospitals.

Mr. Kentwell—Registration at a consulate is optional; you can practise without the consent of your consulate?

Witness—I don't know.

In reply to further questions, witness said that he had been temporarily associated with Dr. Ransom, and left because he wanted to.

Mr. Kentwell—Not because Dr. Ransom wanted you to got Witness—He wished me to main.

Do you know that morphia is an objectionable thing to administer to a patient suffering from kidney trouble?

Witness—No sir, I don't.
