COUNTY CORONERS BILL.
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.
