1Opinion of the CourtCollins, J.
This action was brought by plaintiff, a physician and surgeon, against defendant corporation, for services rendered as an eye specialist to an employee who had been injured while at work for it. The plaintiff did not receive instructions or authority to render the services directly from defendant, but through one Dr. Binder, who was authorized to employ a specialist on this particular occasion for “first” or primary treatment. Defendant declined to pay the bill upon the ground that it included charges for services other than those authorized — that is, further or subsequent services.
