County Coroners and Medical Graminers.
THE law of June 1, 1883, provides for the appointment of County Coroners for three years, and each Coronet to have appointment of a Deputy, and a Medical Examiner, for each town. SECTION 4 .- " When any person shall come to a sudden, violent, or untimely death, and when any person shall be found dead, the manner of whose death is not known, any one who shall become aware of such death shall forthwith report the same to the Medical Examiner for the Town in which the body lies," etc. If the Medical Examiner is satisfied that the death was not caused by the criminal act, omission or carelessness of another, he reports the case to the Coroner for record; but if, in the opinion of the Medical Examiner, such death was caused by the criminal act, omission or carelessness of another, or is attended with suspicious circumstances, he immediately notifies the Coroner who proceeds forthwith to take charge of the body and make all necessary inquiry concerning the cause and manner of death.
