§ 63. Mr. LEWISasked the Attorney-General for what reason and with whose permission the deputy coroner, whose district includes the village of Langham, in Essex, was absent from his district from 12th November to 14th November, inclusive, without leaving any address or making any provision for the carrying out of his duties during his absence?
§ Captain AUSTIN HUDSON (Lord of the Treasury)I have been asked to reply. My right hon. and learned Friend has no information in regard to the dates mentioned, but he has seen certain correspondence in which reference is made to the absence of the deputy coroner from his district during the weekend of the 5th to 7th November last. So far as my right hon. and learned Friend is aware, a coroner or his deputy is not required to obtain permission for a temporary absence from his district.
