Among other cases on the list yesterday was that
OF the estate of Mason Hutchins in which the argu
ment OF exceptions to the auditors report engaged
the Court for several hours The deceased died at
the house OF DR.. Graham No. $50 Race street. the
9Th OF November, 1866 leaving an estate Of nearly
100000, on which the adjustment Of his affairs being
referred to George N. Conarroe, ESQ, as auditor,
there remained for distribution s6542043 Among
other claims presented to the Auditor that
which was sthe principal subject of discussion
yesterday, the claim of Dr. William G. HARRISON,
homeopathic physician, for medical services
rendered the deceased, the amount being s2249.
Dr. HARRISON represented that he had attended Mr..
HutChins from February until November, 1866, visit
ing him nearly every day, sometimes three or four
times IN the day and frequently at night. Up tc June
6, he had made 1863 visits in 127 days, and at
that rate His accounts, however, as represented by
the auditor, were so irregular, and his claims made
at different times, and the testimony against it show
ing that the deceased was careful, accurate man,
averse to doctors, and not requiring the medical at
tendance said to have been afforded him, that the
whole evidence induced the auditor to cut down the
doctors allowance to compensation for l27 visits,
altogether making S3OS. 1t appeared, also, that part
OF the time that DR.. HARRISON entering charges
in his book of 81 day against Mr. Hutchns his pa
uent was sitting up in his room attending to busi-
ness. TO this award exceptions were made, and,
after argument by Dr. Harbisons counsel, the matter
was held under advisement.
This morning the Court dismissed the exceptions
and confirmed the report of the auditor.
