FORFEITURE OF RIGHT.—A registered medical practitioner convicted of felony, or after due inquiry judged by the council to have been guilty of infamous conduct in any professional respect thereby, subject to appeal to the governor in council, forfeits his right to registration, and by the direction of the council his name shall be erased from the register (_ib._, s. 22). The time and place of inquiry under the preceding section must be fixed by the council, and at least fourteen days’ notice given to the party against whom inquiry is ordered (Act 1886, c. 82, s. 6). The Act of 1886, c. 82, regulates the procedure on such inquiry. ADDITIONAL QUALIFICATIONS.—Every person registered who may obtain a higher degree or other qualification is entitled to have it registered in substitution for, or in addition to, the qualifications previously registered, on the payment of such fee as the council may demand (Act 1881, c. 19, s. 23). PRACTITIONER’S RIGHTS.—Every person registered under the act is entitled according to his qualifications to practise medicine, surgery, midwifery, or dentistry, or either or any of them as the case may be, and to demand and recover reasonable and customary charges for professional aid, advice, and visits, and the cost of any medicine or other medical or surgical appliances rendered or supplied by him to his patients (_ib._, s. 24). No person is entitled to recover any such charge unless he shall prove upon the trial that he is registered under this act (_ib._, s. 25). DEFINITION.—The words “legally qualified medical practitioner,” or “duly qualified medical practitioner,” or other words implying that a person is recognized by law as a medical practitioner or member of the medical profession, when used in a legislative act or a legal or public document mean a person registered under this act (_ib._, s. 26). UNREGISTERED PERSONS.—No person shall be appointed a medical officer, physician, or surgeon in the public service or in any hospital or other charitable institution unless registered (_ib._, s. 27). No certificate required from any physician or surgeon or medical practitioner is valid unless the signer be duly registered (_ib._, s. 28). A person not registered or licensed, and not actually employed as a physician or surgeon in Her Majesty’s naval or military service, practising physic, surgery, or midwifery for hire, gain, or hope of reward, forfeits twenty dollars for each day of such practice (_ib._, s. 29). The sum forfeited is recoverable with costs. The procedure in reference to all penalties is regulated by Act of 1886, c. 82. Persons liable as provided in secs. 29 and 30 are not entitled to or subject to the provisions of any act for the relief of debtors (Act 1882, c. 30, s. 4). On the trial of such cause, the burden of proof as to license or right to practise is upon the defendant (Act 1881, c. 19, s. 31; Act 1886, c. 82, s. 3).
