by }. A. Muzzy of Jamaica. DR.. Doane |
upon leaving Jamaica located at Spring |
heid, VT, and was called to Jamaica and |
ADJOINING towns occasionally to consult !
with Greenwood. 1t also appeared that |

tlents within the limits of Greenwood's !
practlce without the request or permits |
sion OF the latter. These visits were
iolloWed by Greenwood's protest and the |
commencement of suit by him on the
Dond, the damages named in the writ
being $500. DR.. Doane testified that
a portion of the visits made by him were
In answer to the calls of old time friends
to whom he made no charge for services
rendered; that in other cases his visits
were made with DR.. Greenwood's knowl-
edge and consent, and that in none of
the cases was DR.. Greenwood injured
financially by his action, the parties
whom he visited being those who would
not employ the latter under any circum-
stances.
