The Omse OF city Coroner.

CHARLESTON, July 8, 1869.
TO TIE EDITOR OF TIE News
AS member of the City Council who voted
for the election OF City Coroner, beg leave
respectfully to dissent from the statement in
your issue Of this date, that ''there is no such
officer as City Coroner" Section Of the act
Of August 13, 1888, entitled can act to incor-
porate Charleston" (still nnrepealed) declares
that ''the City Council are hereby authorized
to appoint Coroner for said city" Section
10 Of On act OF December IT, 1917, extends the
jurisdiction Of the City Coroner over the Par
ishes Of st. Philips and St. Michael's, or in
other words authorized him to ofaciate
throughout territory extending about six
miles beyond the limits Of the city proper.
Thus far we are doubtless agreed; but you
alleRe that Section 10 OF the actof December
II, 1917. having been repealed by an act OF
March 26, 1869, therefore the City Council have
no power to elect City Coroner. I do not
think that this conclusion is warranted by the
premises. The repeal Of the act Of 1917
leaves the Office of City Coroner just where
that act found it, for that act simply extended
the Coroner's jurisdiction beyond the proper
corporate limits Of the city. This is the full
legal force of the act OF March 26, 1869, upon
which you base your conclusion. To hold
otherwise, is to argue that to restrict the
jurisdiction OF an officer is to abolish the
Office; for this last act only repsals the act ex-
tending the Jurisdiction Of the City Coroner,
and nothing more, leaving untouched the
clause OF the original charter, whereby the
"City Council OF Charleston are authorized to
appoint Coroner for said city."
Moreover, even though the act OF March 06,
1859, had expressly declared the Office Of Oity
Coroner abolished, it would have no validity,
because the object OF the act is not expressed
in it's title. as required by the Constitution
of the State. II such was the intention OF the
act, it utterly fails 10 effect it's purpose.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient ser want,
t. ]. MAoKEx,
Alderman Ward 8.

actually been reappointed during the aftor-
