The council may by by-law delegate to the registrar power to admit to practice and to register any person having the necessary qualifications entitling him to be registered by the council (Ord. 24, 1892, s. 4). The council may direct the name of any person improperly registered to be erased from the register and such name shall be erased by the registrar (Ord. 24, 1892, s. 5). FORFEITURE OF RIGHTS.—If a medical practitioner be convicted of any felony or misdemeanor or after due inquiry be judged by the council to have been guilty of infamous conduct in any professional respect, the council may, if it sees fit, direct the registrar to erase the name of such practitioner from the register, and the name shall be erased (Ord. 5, 1888, s. 37, as substituted by Ord. 24, 1892, s. 1). RIGHTS OF REGISTERED PERSONS.—Every person registered under the ordinance is entitled to practise medicine and surgery, including midwifery, or any one of them, as the case may be, and to demand and recover with costs his reasonable charges for professional aid, advice, and visits, and the cost of medical or surgical appliances rendered or supplied by him to his patients (_ib._, s. 38). LIMITATION.—A period of one year after the term of professional service is established as a limitation to actions for negligence or malpractice against members of the college (_ib._, s. 39). REGISTER, EVIDENCE.—The registrar, under the direction of the council, is required to publish a register of the names and residences and the medical titles, diplomas, and qualifications conferred by any college or body, of all persons appearing on the register on the day of publication. The register is called “Northwest Territories’ Medical Register,” and a copy for the time being, purporting to be so printed and published, is _prima facie_ evidence that the persons therein specified are registered according to the act. The absence of a name from such copy is _prima facie_ evidence that such person is not so registered. In case a person’s name does not appear on such copy, a certified copy under the hand of the registrar of the entry of the name of such person on the register is evidence that such person is registered (_ib._, s. 40). NEGLECT TO REGISTER.—A person neglecting to register is not entitled to the rights or privileges conferred and is liable to all penalties against unqualified or unregistered practitioners (_ib._, s. 4). OFFENCES AND PENALTIES.—To practise or profess to practise without registration, for hire or reward, is punishable with a penalty of $100 (_ib._, s. 42). To wilfully or falsely pretend to be a physician, doctor of medicine, surgeon, or general practitioner, or assume any title or description not actually possessed and to which the person is not legally entitled under this ordinance, is punishable with a penalty of from $10 to $50 (_ib._, s. 43, as amended by Ord. 24, 1892, s. 2).
