Dec. s. 1908.
To the Hon. Board of County Commits
sioners, Marion County, Florida.
| Gentlemen: Relative to the matter
of the bills of J. w. Lyles, justice of
| the peace, acting ex Officio coroner in
the matter of investigating the deaths
Of z. d. Smith, ct al, we beg to re-
port as follows:
our statutes provide that the coro-
ner, after considering the circum-
! stances attending the cause of the
| death, if he has good reason TO believe
! that the death was caused by the
| criminal act and negligence Of an
other, shall hold an inquest, that com
| penSatiOn be allowed a jury therefor,
| If in the corOner's opinion such an in
quest should be held, and in his order
/ for jury he shall state such grounds
! of belief. This statute leaves it as
a matter of discretion to be exercised
| by the Justice of the peace in whose
| district the death occurred. The
| grounds stated by Justice Lyles in his
venire for jury is sufficient under the
! statute. and upon this ground he
! formed the opinion that an inquest
! was necessary. We note that in his
| venire for jury he fails 10 name any
/ persons as having come TO their death.
| but this is not fatal so far as the mat
| tiers referred to Us are concerned. Tn
! der the circumstances, the county. We
! believe, win be held liable for the
costs incurred by Justice Lyles in this
