alderman Percy Craw ford stormed out of town coun cil meeting early this week duri ing row over appointment or another alderman to fill seat made vacant by the deathof Deputy Reeve Clinton Smith Alderman William Orr moved up to deputy reovo and the mo tion in question called for elec lion or appointment of merchant Walter Woods as the new alder man Mr Crawford contended Mrs Hec Adams should get the appointment as she was runner up for the post in the last civic election but the motion went through abor juries He said in answer to point of Simcoe County As sistant Crown Attorney Ken nedy that crown attorneys should certainly be allowed to address juries All too often the Coroners do not explain their duties properly he added referring to the iuries Neglect of recommendations and cursory verdicts hall often resulted from lack of instruc tion from coroner he said Dr Gemmell commented that although crown attorneys could address and instruct iurics would like to see cor oners trained to do it them selves HALF ADEQUATE Crown Attorney lhomp son said 50 per cent of the 20 coroners in Simcoedid their instruction adequately The question of whether coroner could give evidence at his own inquest was answered by Dr Smith who said if at all possible coroner should call in another coroner if it was necessary that he give evidence In the administration of justice said ltir Silk np poarance is important the doctor on the spot if he was to give evidence at an in jured people concerned in the accident or incident that had led to the inquest NOT OWN DOCTOR It was further stressed that the deceaseds own doctor should not be coroner Likewise in railroad fatal lty it was illadvised for the coroner to be railroad doctor Burks Falls OPP Sgt Rodger said he had invest igatcd an accident on the rail road where railroad doctor had not ordered an inquest but where he thought there should have been one gt This was interpreted as be mg practice on the part of rail road companies to avoid inlt quests which often result in legal actions If any one thing evolved from the days discussion it was that coroners needed to be much more informed on the Coroners Act and that the like lihood of amendments to the act were less likely than amendments to local proce dure which from listening to the remarks ofofficials from Wide area seems to he diverse and often contravening the Act
