To the Editok of the Nelson Evening Mail. Sin — You will oblige mo by inserting lliis note with regard to the death of Daniel Shannon, injustice to our Coroner. A letter signed ' Argus' appears in today's Colonist, which says that the writer is not a medical man, but that in his opinion ' a coroner's inquest should have been held.' There may be others of the same opiniou. It will be gratifying to him and them to hear that the Coroner himself came to me to inquire into tl>3 case, aud was satisfied, from the symptoms detailed by me, that it was not necessary : thus showing the advantage to ihe public of having medical coroners. I may remark that 'Argus' shows in his ietter that he has forgotten the old aphorism — * The pitcher that goes oft to the well may \<e broken nl ia<t.' Yours, &f., FIiAS. L. VICKEEMAN.
