(Ei TE^tfRAPII— I'RKSS . ASSOCIAI.ON.)
CHRISTCHURCH, This Day..1 There was an unusual happening at an inquest this morning on a woman who had died in the hospital. Dr. Campbell,, A member of the staff, was giving evidence as to the woman's condition on admission, when the Coroner demanded certain details of the treatment, and for atime the doctor refused to supply them. The Coroner persisted, and during a statement made by the doctor at the conclusion of his evidence, the Coroner threatened to commit him for Contempt of Court. In his verdict, the Coroner said he was perfectly satisfied with the method of treatment, and that everything possible had been done for the woman, who died of heart failure, associated with acute gastritis.
