1828 An address to the District Medical Society of Burlington, New Jersey, with the "Address of Welcome," delivered [in 1879] by Dr. R.H. Page [perhaps Richard H Page, cousing of Asahel, [11]], of Columbus, stated [12] [13]:
The law regulating the practice of 'physic and surgery' in New Jersey at the commencement of this century required that a license should be obtained from the State Medical Society, whether the applicants had diplomas from medical schools or not, and imposed a penalty of twenty-five dollars for every prescription given by a non-licentiate; and unless such license was properly recorded, either in the office of the county clerk or of the chief justice of the State, no fees could be legally demanded for professional services. The year previous to the organization of the society (1828) an incident occurred which demonstrated the efficiency of this law, and led to the union of the few physicians then in the county for their own protection. The scene was laid in the little town of Columbus, at that time known as Black Horse. The parties immediately concerned were Dr. Asahel Page and Prince Murat, a relative (nephew) "of Joseph Bonaparte, then residing as ex-king of Spain at his beautiful seat in Bordentown. The prince and the doctor were both fond of horses, and each kept several trained for the course. They were to have a race through the street of Columbus, which had been well advertised. The prize was to be one of the racers. The prince and the doctor appeared in due time, and the race was accomplished in the presence of a goodly crowd. The prince came off the winner, and demanded his prize. The doctor said there had been foul play and refused to surrender his steed. The prince was angry, and declared in a menacing manner that he would not pay the doctor's bill for professional services. Suit was brought by the doctor to recover the amount of his bill. The Hon. Garrett D. Wall, late of this city, was one of the counselors. The case was tried, and the doctor non-suited, the evidence in the trial showing that, though he had passed an examination and had received a license, he had neglected to comply with the provision of the law which required the filing of his certificate in the office of the Chief Justice of the State. Hence the loss of his case.
