“Crowners’ Quests.”
Those “ good men and true,” who to the number of twelve, have usually been summoned when a Coroner's Jury was required at an inquest will not have to be so much troubled with these duties as heretofore. The new Act with respect to Coroner’s Inquests has now come into force, and under its provisions the attendance of only six jurymen is required at tn inquest. This is a decided improvement on the old system as it will be much easier to get together a jury of six than twelve men, for those coroner’s inquiries in the country districts.
