Coroner Praises Police Work
COMMENDATION POE THOROUGHNESS. An accident—an unknown man killed! The police tako t/he matter in hand and within a short time the name of deceased has been established and full investigation made into the circumstances surrounding t»ho fatality. But behind the scenes much labour had been expended before the police-files were completed and in readiness for presentation. The Coroner (Mr A. J. Graham) realised this yesterday when, after dealing with an inquest on an elderly man, who was fatally injured after being knocked down by a motor lorry on the Longburn-Karere highway recently, he commended the police authorities for the very thorough and painstaking manner in which they had investigated the matter. The case heard yesterday was conducted by Detective-Sergeant J. Bickerdike and took three hours to hear.
