EXPENSIVE DENTAL DENTISTRY

The well known actress, Miss Agnes Ethel,
had occasion some time since. 1t appears, to
employ the professional services Of the Dentist
DR.. William H. Atkinson. The dental artist en-
ployed his best professional skill! to put order
the biceps and molars Of Miss Ethel and, his
work OF reconstruction completed, IN bill OF
$1,026. Objection was made to the bill on the
ground that the charges were cxorbltant, and the
result was suit by Dr. Atkinson to compel ITS
payment. ON behalf OF the defendant motion was
made yesterday IN Supreme Court. Chambers, be-
fore Judge DOnOhue by General AnthOn for
further Dill OF particulars. The bill as
submitted contains SIX items, from June to June
II, 1879. Each item ~ IN this form ITO services
with the gold 1lling necessary therefor, -"
some OF the blanks being flied up with two or
three operators and the amounts charged ranging
from $50 to $500, the bill aggregating, as already
stated, $1,025 It was thought that these items
were hardly specific enough and hence motion
for more particular bill Of particulars. In CON-
menting on the bill General AnthOn confessed tnat
he was at a loss TO know the meaning OF 'dressing
teeth" and he desired instruction upon that point
~ am no Dentist" said, in reply, the plain
ated upon Drilling the teeth Is a scientlfc
operation and their filing With gold. The dentist's
aid Is important to the fair sex, especially to
professional lady designed to make presentabe
appearance In public." 81.
~ want to know" answered General Anthon,
"hOw many cavities you filled. We only know OF
your filling four teeth"
~ am unable to enumerate the cavities nled,"
said the opposing counsel.
Judge DOnohue looked over the Dill and said that
the plaintln must give IN his bill such q descrip-
tiOn OF the services rendered that any artist look
ing over IL can form an estimate whether the
amounts were properly charged or not. He &C.
cOrdlngy granted the motion.

A QUESTION OF IDENTITY.

young woman giving the name OF Mary Will
son, but who is also said 10 have been known by
the name of Libbie Doris, was brought yesterday
before Judge Donohue in Supreme Court, Cham
bers on writ of habeas corpus procured by Mr..
McClelland, her counsel. The statement OF coun-
sci was that Judge Smith returned that he
had committed the accused in default or 81 900
bail, ior grand larceny; that the complaint was
properly made, and that witnesses were exam
ined, whereas, it is alleged, nothing or the kind
took place. The traverse to the return is an afi-
daYlt 0i the prisoner that in 1879 one Libbie Doris
was convicted at the Court OF General Sessions OF
the same offence OF which she is charged Judg-
ment was postponed and the prisoner discharged
by Judge Bedford on her own recOgnizance. Mr..
Dana OF the District Attorneys offlce, said that
Mary Wilson is none other than Libbie Doris Az
to whether witness was examined or not he could
not say. The opposing counsel evidently got
Judge Donohue IN q quandary as to the real facts
of the case, and to set the matter right In his own
mind he said he would first require q statement
from Justice smith, and until sucn statement Can
be RiYen pQatnQned his decision. ~ NJ
