For those wishing to know: William Hewitt (c1805-9 October 1876) was a 
surgeon in Norfolk who was horified that non-medical people were allowed 
to be coroners.  Here he puts forward cases where a non-medical cononer 
made an error of judgement which a medical man would not have made. 
Mis-carriages of justice resulted.
