FROM BENCH AND BAR
GATHERED FROM LAWYERS AND AMONG
THE COURTS.

J. Phelps wlngate. the deputy clerk OF the su-
perior Court, who died last week. was one OF those
courteous and faithful officials who are more IRE
quently in the courts than in other branches
of the city's service He had held office for seven
teen years. and was highly regarded by the many
lawyers who had occasion to visit the clerks OF
flee of the court with which he was connected he
had a wide acquaintance among the members OF
the Bar and especial fitness for the duties OF MS
official place He had been for several years q
sufferer from Illness, but kept at his post o! duty
In spite OF attacks of severe pain Inc JUDGES
or the Superior Court, as well as the members VI
the civil bar, will greatly miss his presence
Among the decisions of the Court OF Appeals last
week was that in the case of Mrs Sara b. Chase.
who was convicted before Judge MARITIME Of man.

by malpractice The most important point in the
brief submitted by John d. Lindsay. the Assistant
Dstrct-Attorney who represented the prosecution
had reference the right of physician to TESTIFY
as to communications wlth his patient. Ii was
held in one criminal that where such testimony
would tend TO bring shame upon living person
II would not be allowed although the general ruio
against allowing disclosures by physicians does not
always apply to criminal cases In the case or

mOny OF the physicians should not nave Deen AZ
lowed, because it tended to bring disgrace upon me
name and reputation of the patient although inc
pa tient was dead The Court Of Appeals ahrmed
the conviction, and the rule thus appears to be
settled that the testimony OF physicians containing
unpleasant disclosures respecting their patients may
be received when necessary in the interests OF
Justice although forbidden in civil litigations.
