“I cannot allow counsel to go on asking questions that are irrelevant as to the cause of death,” said Mr. E. D Mosley, coronex-, at an inquest in Christchurch on Monday, after the principal witness had been subjected to a long cross-examination. Mr. Mosley added that he allowed some latitude, but could not let it go too far. It became so obvious that counsel were trying to obtain evidence that could asisst them in the event of a civil action. If counsel persisted, he would have to restrict the evidence strictly as to the cause of death.
