in the case. He referred to the very vague and indefinite procedure on the part of the Coroner's inquest, and said that it was his own opinion that a post mortem examination should have been held over the body; but instead of that, no witnesses had been summoned before the Coroner, but the jury of inquest simply assembled, and without any deliberation, rendered a verdict of death from natural causes. In this connection, the Mayor remarked that the Coroner appointed by the Hustings Court (Dr. Peachy) was a gentleman of distinguished attainments, but unfortunately he was deterred from performing his duty in consequence of protracted and serious illness. He was not aware that the acting Coroner possessed any remarkable knowledge of medical jurisprudence, and felt very sure he was not a man of much legal knowledge. He therefore adjourned the matter over till Wednesday, and intimated that he should, in the meantime, have the body disinterred and a post mortem examination held over it.
