Ellis bowed his head in assent. "Well, in that case," continued the In- spector briskly, "your previous experience has no doubt enlightened you, then,, in regard to the customary procedure in such cases. You are, of course, aware that the finding of s coroner's jury. while it may acquit you of all blame in causing a per- son's death, doesn't necessarily preclude any subsequent inquiry that the Crown may see fit to institute Inter, although it would naturally carry considerable weight with it in such an eventuality." . . .
