Project Gutenberg 2018-10-15 Public domain in the USA. 119 Hewitt, William 1876 Observations on Coroners Transcribed from the [1852] Samuel Daynes edition by David Price "Observations on Coroners" by William Hewitt is a scientific publication written in the mid-19th century. The book examines the role and responsibilities of coroners in the context of inquests and the importance of their decisions in determining the causes of death, particularly highlighting problems arising from inadequate knowledge and practices among non-medical coroners. In this work, Hewitt details multiple case studies where coroners' inquiries either succeeded or failed, demonstrating the serious implications of their judgments on both justice and medical practice. Through these examples, he critiques the lack of medical expertise brought into coronial decisions and advocates for more qualified individuals to occupy such crucial positions. The author emphasizes that both the integrity of the legal system and the respect for human life hinge upon thorough and well-informed investigatory processes, pushing for reforms to improve the efficacy and seriousness of such inquiries.
