These are actions against individual doctors employed by the New Hampshire Hospital, the superintendent of the hospital, and the State hospital itself for the negligent treatment of an involuntarily committed mental patient. Before trial all the defendants moved to dismiss the plaintiffs causes of action against them on the grounds of sovereign immunity. Their motions were granted, and consequently, plaintiffs actions were dismissed. Plaintiff seasonably excepted and all questions of law were reserved and transferred by Mullavey, J.
