have the practice on the piano stopped at times
when il was necessary 10 administer opiates TO
Judge MARITIME. but the request was unheeued.

disturbed by the sounds OF the piano that ne
leaned out of his bed and sought refuge III d
more remote part of the house. An appeal was
made 10 the Health Board. but II was decided
that the Health Board had jurisdiction in
such a case as Mrs. Freidenburg had the right
to play the piano in her own home at reasonable
hours.
