Tub Sates v. White Cask. The Australian Medical Gazette contains an article on the case in which Dr Hayes sued Air White recently. After summarising the case from the report which appeared in this paper, tlia Gazette says : —' It stems odd that there could be any question as to rightful destination of moaeys paid into court for a specific person ; and if the rules of the Supreme Court do not protect witnesses from ihis kind of conduct on the part of attorneys, it in high lime they were changed.

Though no case has as Tet come before the Courts of New South Wales, we are acquainted with several in which the fees due to medical witnesses have been paid into court, withdrawn by the attorney of the winning side, and 3'et, though this happened long sinc», the medical practitioneis to whom they ware allowed remain unpaid.'
