Observations ( per the Lord Justice-Clerk and Lord Ormidale) upon the extent to which the practice of obtaining skilled medical testimony in cases of damages for personal injury is carried.
This action was at the instance of the Rev. J.R. M'Dougall against the Caledonian Railway Company, for damages for personal injury sustained through the upsetting of a coach on Lochaweside on 27th August 1877, while travelling in virtue of a ticket issued by the defenders.
The pursuer after the accident proceeded to Bridge of Allan, where he was seen by several surgeons both from Bridge of Allan and from Edinburgh and Glasgow, including Mr Annandale from Edinburgh.
The action was raised in the end of September 1877, and issues were adjusted on 22d November.
The next day the pursuer received notice of a tender of £150, which, after a consultation with counsel, he agreed not to accept. On 28th November the defenders lodged a tender of £200 and expenses, which at the time was not accepted.
