In OUR Report Of the Council proceedings yester.
day, we did not correctly state the aim of Coroner
Daunoys petition. His claim of 81 300 and over was
not for the burial of bodies of INDECENT sick, and
Others dying by natural deaths last summer, as we
set forth; but was for actual expenses ncarred in
burying such bodies when he was paid by fee, $40
on each inquest, prior to last summer, and which
amount was deducted from his bill by the Council,
on the ground that the nquests bodies so buried
were unnecessary, and not within the proper line of
his duty. Last summer, his pay being changed from
fee per capita to yearly salary, he had to bury
many such bodies as the Council had previously de.
cided he had nothing to do with and now he claims
what was deducted out of his fees previously, to re-
imburse him for what he has had to pay out of his
salary since for the burial of bodies Of that class,
which, as aforesaid, the Council decided be had no.
thing to do with. This is the statement Of the
as we should have published it yesterday.
