The March Goes On

Before proceeding the Coroner stated that this inquest was being re- sumed from April 1, when hearing was adjourned sixe die owing to the absence of two witnesses. Two of the jurors who were prosent at the previous hearing were not available, so he (the Coroner) would discharge that jury and draw near Jurors.

After the jurors had been drawn the Coroner informed them that he would call the witnesses who gave evidence at the previous hearing and would read over their evidence, after which the other witnesses would be called.
