1. Under the ruling in the case of Florida Central & Peninsular R. Co. v. Ragan, 104 Ga. 353 (
(a) This court has been requested to review the decision above cited; but the members of the court are not unanimous in the opinion that it should be overruled, and it must therefore stand as authority.
2. The mere allegation of notice to a physician, employed by a railroad company to .treat injured persons, of the filing of the suit, would not alone suffice to show notice to the company, it not appearing that dealing with litigation, or. settlements, or the receipt of such notice, was a matter within the scope of his -employment.
3. The special allegations of the petition, by which it was sought to charge that the physician was the agent of the railroad company, whose knowledge would affect the company with notice, were not sufficient for that purpose.
4. There was no error in dismissing the case on demurrer.
5. The case being prosecuted in the name of the plaintiff to enforce the lien of her attorneys for their fees, and having been dismissed on demurrer, and a bill of exceptions having been sued out in the name of the plaintiff and a pauper affidavit made by the plaintiff, the writ of error will not be dismissed upon the ground that the costs of court had not been paid, or that no pauper’s affidavit was filed by real parties at interest. Judgment affirmed.
