principle of which had been recommended by the com-
iiiisaioner of 1849 and the committee of the present

Mr. DUDES supported the Rotund reading of the Bill,
in order that the queation betwe,n the coroner* and the
ens-'istrates might be settled.

lq fees, if the House desired to try the experiment of
paying them by salary be would not oppose the propo-
sit:ou. The coroner was elected by the freeholders, and
lodil his ollice by a stronger tenure than the juilges,being
proctitally i 11111 l oyable. and lie suggeated that the Cm an
