ANCIENT OFFICE OF CORONER

It ha, been supposed, and legal
historians have told us, that the of

stltuted by King Alfred with that of
the sheriffs, both being designed to
aid in keeping peace when the earl,
gave up the wardship, of the coun

according to Dr. F. J. Waldo of the
British Medico-Legal Society, who
has traded the history of the coro
ner and his ancient office as far back
as the year 1194.
In early days the coroner had a
wider and more general jurisdiction
than he now enjoys. Coroner, were
wont to "hold their views’’ not only
upon deaths whore an investigation
was considered necessary, hut also
upon various serious crimes which
were treated as occasions for the
raising of revenue for the Crown.
The mission of the coroner to the by the thousands in Valdosta with-
state was not alone to investigate in the next few months and hand
crimes and bring felons to justice, igome houses will go up on a number

"You have no idea," wrote Super
intendent Simpkins, of the Newark
schools on November ?0, 1908, just
before the local option election, "how
(difficult It Is to raise a boy in New
ark. At every turn, day or night,
he faces one of the eighty ealoone.
Great signs stretch aeross whole
buddings or shine out fn electric
lights from the roofs. Is it any
wonder he Is caught? Only a few
nights since I saw eereral school
boys drunk behind one of the school
buildings. . . If I dared tell you
what I know of some of the doings
of the young men in this city, some
of them yet in school, you would
not believe me.’’
