§ House in Committee on the County Coroners Bill.
§ Upon Clause 20, "The Coroner to receive in addition to 9d. per mile,"
§ Mr. Craven Berkeleyopposed it. The Clause allowed 1s. a mile for travelling, which he thought excessive.
§ Mr. Pakingtondefended the Clause, on the ground that the sum of 9d. per mile now paid was insufficient to cover travelling expenses.
§ Mr. Macleanalso supported it, and contended that Coroners were considerable losers by their travelling, the expenses of which the present allowances did not cover.
§ The Committee divided on the question that the blank be filled up with "three pence":—Ayes 93; Noes 34:—Majority 59.
