A rule, be performed in future by Dr Marques, except in special cases when it is considered necessary to designate Dr Wharry for that duty.
A stabbing case which resulted in death was considered, and I had to request Dr Wharry to perform the post-mortem examination, which I did by written warrant that directed his attendance at the inquest.
I had occasion to call upon Dr Wharry again yesterday to explain why he did not comply with the warrant. Dr Wharry appeared to altogether misconceive the functions and powers of the Coroner, to imagine that a formally issued warrant of the Court could be treated with the same lightness as an ordinary order.
Dr Wharry, instead of carrying out the order directed to him, forwarded it to Dr Marques to make the post-mortem examination, and did not appear at the inquest to give any reason for not complying with the written order.
The Court is a Court of Justice, and an order from the Supreme Court or any other Court has the same authority and weight as any order from the Coroner.
