Ho was also fined £2O for using the title M.D. without authority. It was stated that Bailey had practised as a "doctor, and had exhibited outside his lodging a board inscribed "Dr. G. S. Bailey, M.D., Specialist in male, female, and children." M e had treated a number of soldiers, and made claims on the War Office in respect of the treatment. To the bench Bailey complained that the "truth is not 'speaking to-day." The proceedings, ho declared, were prompted by "supcrstitiousness" and prejudice, on the part of his brethren because he was a "poor coloured man.'*"" The police said the" prisoner had been employed as a kitchen portor at the Ritz Hotel, but according to a widow with whom lie had boon keeping companv, he had since been practising as a doctor.
