The Rev. Francis H. Bayliss, of St.

gave the last rites, was asked by the Coroner, "Were you told he had beer found hanging?"

Father Bayliss-I am not quite sure. A statement was made in my pre- sence, and it is a thing which in those circumstances I would not take much account of because I should feel that a statement would not be made in my presence were I not a priest. At that time I was clalming privilege which I do not claim now. I say that to explain the divergence.

He added that the father told him that his son had tried to hang him- self, but did not say he found him hanging.

The Coroner Did you feel that the less knowledge you had of it the better felt it was a matter that did not concern me. I was there for one purpose alone, and thought of no other.

But you could see it was a matter that would have to come before the police and the Coroner?~1 may have seen that, but I would not take any nolice because it was completely cut of my province.

The Coroner-No, it is not out of your province. If you learned, as a priest, that a person has died a violent death, it is your common law duty.

Father Bayliss-It depends on the circumstances in which the informa- tion comes. Things were said in my presence which would not have been -sald had I not been a priest.

The Coraner-That is no excuse. You knew the man died a violent death, and yet you kept that know- ledge to yourself? Yes.

If it had been a case of felo de se, added the Coroner, the father, certain members of the, family, and the priest might have been accessories to a felony.
