Conosxn's ISouxsr To-NoREow.-Co
oner Mayer will hold an inquest to-mor-
row ON the body Of Daniel Mnnroe. who
was killed to-day at the new shaft Of the
Caledonia mine. Tho Coroner says
that the practice Of taking the bodies Of
parties who have been killed. to the un-
dertaker's, before he has had an oppor-
tunity To- hold an inquest interferes
very seriously with the discharge OF his
duties. Important facts that would
throw light on tho cause OF death, are
often lost in this manner. Even the
position occupied by a body when
found. might give a Glow to the cause OF
death that could never otherwise DO
gained.
