Observations on Coroners, by William Hewitt 58104 [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/8/1/0/58104 ] [Files: 58104-0.txt; 58104-h.htm] 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.
