MU EDER BY LAW

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES

Sir,—Mr. "Justice to Society," whose letter appeared
in the NORTHERN TIMES of yesterday (Tuesday), would
make an excellent hangman. I am informed that Cal-
craft has been reinstated in his office for the present,
otherwise the man in question would have tilled the
situation to the satisfaction of all who thinks as he does.
Caleraft (to his honour be it spoken) has a spark of
feeling for poor fallen humanity. "Justice to Society," I
regret to say, has none.—Yours,
Chester, April 23. A POOR FALLEN MAN.

CORONERS INQUESTS. —On Thursday the coroner held
the foilowiug inquests :—On the body of Robert :Mullikin,
o lutr i ng
appearedunde r
hs
t lab
rnaae of the schooner Jean, of Wick, who was drowned in
thethe
effects Wellington
e fdrink. Duck
Verdict
on Tue Tuesday, a y
accordingly,,
that the deceased and another man hod been refused ad-
mission into the dock by constable 143, because he was
intoxicated, and then the officer WAS offered money to let
him in, but ho refused. It seemed that afterwards the
unfortunate deceased succeeded iu getting into the dock
amongst a crowd of people, who were going in on business.
On the body of a child, named Moran, 9 weeks old, that
was accidentally suffocated in bed. Verdict accordingly.
On the body of a man, name not known, that was found
in the Crosby Channel, as reported in Thursday's paper.
The body was much decomposed, so that identity was out of
the question. We published on Thursday the substance of
two letters found in the pocket of deceased, and in addition,
there was a sum of 3s. 6.1. in silver, two keys and a knife,
found on his person. He was dressed in a black silk vest,
striped cloth trousers, and sea boots. He had on
neither Coat nor jacke?, but a sort of slop over
his vest. The only evidence given in the case
was as to the finding of the body, and the jury returned a
verdict of found drowned. In ref,?,rence to this case
constable 289 said he had very great difficulty, even for
payment, in procuring the assistance of any one to remove
the body with him. He had experienced the same difficulty
on several occasions, as there was a prejudice amongst
pecp!e of touching a dead body, particularly when in such
an advanced state of decomposition. The coroner agreed
in the observations, and said there was no provision made
for the police in such cases, lie would, however, com..
municate with illajor Greig on the subject. The jury quite
concurred in the observations of the coroner, and said it
was right that the police should receive compensation for
such cases, as from the state of the body no one would, even
for any compensation, touch it, so therefore the constables
had to perform a most unpleasant task.
