In opening the case to the jury, Mr. MCCALL said the plaintiff had been for 15 years the medical superintendent of the Camberwell Infirmary. It contained 222 beds for children and 32 wards. In a place of that kind, where there was a large number of boys, there were naturally some who were disobedient and hard to control, and whose presence was injurious to patients who had to be kept quiet. During the plaintiff’s tenure of office he was entrusted with the power of a master of the infirmary, which in law carried with it the right, when other means failed, to inflict corporal punishment.
