CORONER. An officer whose principal duty it is to hold an inquisition, with
the assistance of a jury, over the body of any person who may have come to a
violent death, or who has died in prison. It is his duty also, in case of
the death of the sheriff, or when a vacancy happens in that office, to serve
all the writs and process which the sheriff is usually bound to serve. The
chief justice of the King's Bench is the sovereign or chief coroner of all
England, although it is not to be understood that he performs the active
duties of that office in any one count. 4 Rep. 57, b. Vide Bac. Ab. h.t.; 6
Vin. Ab.242; 3 Com. Dig. 242; 5 Com. Dig. 212; and the articles Death;
Inquisition.
2. The duties of the coroner are of the greatest consequence to
society, both for the purpose of bringing to punishment murderers and other
offenders against the lives of the citizens, and of protecting innocent
persons from criminal accusations. His office, it is to be regretted, is
regarded with too much indifference. This officer should be properly
acquainted with the medical and legal knowledge so absolutely indispensable
in the faithful discharge of his office. It not unfrequently happens that
the public mind is deeply impressed with the guilt of the accused, and when
probably he is guilty, and yet the imperfections of the early examinations
leave no alternative to the jury but to acquit. It is proper in most cases
to procure the examination to be made by a physician, and in some cases, it
is his duty. 4 Car. & P. 571.
