It is amply expressed in F N B. fol. 186. That the Coroner shall carry the Records of his own view abjurations outlawries appeales accusations of Thefts done before him and of all other things done in the County that is certaine to the Coroners office and also in the Court of Freemen which have Franchises of infangtheft c. And in the presence of the Coroner shall all appeales of Robbery and Larceny be framed Now as to the view of the body of a man it is his office that so soon as he shall be certified thereof to send to the Constable of the Hundred of the place to summon sufficient and able men of the towns adjacent that at a day certaine they be before him at such a place all which done the body is to be viewed and if it be buried it is to be taken up and he is to record the names of those who buried him and if it hath been decreased or endamaged by ill keeping or laine so long that it cannot be judged how it came by its death the same must also be recorded that this negligence may be punished at the coming of the Justices of Assize into the Circuit for the Towne where the amerciament was shall be grievously amercied upon sight of the Coroners rolls He ought to do his office in person and to see the dead body when he maketh inquisition otherwise the inquiry is invalid for if he will inquire of any dead person without view this is without authority and void If the Coroner be remisse and negligent in coming to execute his office after he is sent unto he shall be amerced But to proceed if the Coroner with the advice of the people present be able to judge of the death then are they to present the manner of his killing whether he died of anothers felony or of his own or by mischance and if of blows whether of a staff or a stone or any other weapon and he is to record in his rolls the names of those who were summoned and appeared not that the same offences of disobedience remain not unpunished whereby the Coroner could not at that time proceed for want of Jurors Therefore we will inquire what persons may be of the Enquest What persons are to be of the Coroners Inquest and how to be qualified THe Inquisition before Coroners is to be of persons within the four next adjacent Villages to be made by the Bailif or Constables of those Villages as appeareth by the Stat. of 4 E. 1. de officio Coronatoris Crompton fol. 113. In these Enquests lye no exceptions or challenges to the persons of the Jurors but he ought to make his pannels of the discretest of the ablest and best of them The names of the Jurors ought to be certified for peradventure they be not probi legales homines but Villains and Outlawes 15 H. 4. 41. for note that an Indictment before Coroners was found that the Earle of B. was felo de se was quashed because it did not appear that it was per sacramentum proborum legalium hominum Pophams rep fol. 202. Harrison against Errington And likewise in Hillary termo 2. Car. B. R. Pophams rep fol. 209. 210. a great multitude of Welshmen were indicted for the death of a man by an Inquisition taken before the Coroner in the County of Montgomery in Wales and exceptions were taken to the Inquisition as first that the Coroner cannot take any Inquisition unlesse it be super visum corporis and to this was cited Britton 6. R. 2. Coron 107. 21 E. 4. 70. 2. R. 3. 2. This is also the reason that if a man drown himselfe and cannot be found the Coroner cannot inquire of the death of this man but for the King or Protector to have a forfeiture of his goods an Inquisition ought to be taken before the Justices of the Peace The second exception was that the Inquisition was per sacramentum proborum legalium hominum Com. praedict whereas by the Statute of 4 E. 1. this enquest ought to be by men of the four next Towns adjoyning and this ought to appear in the Indictment also Hill 10. Jac. Rot. 3. Co. Lib. Intr. 354. and in Pasc 3. Car. This Indictment was quashed for these exceptions The empannelling of the enquest and the view of the body and the giving of the verdict is commonly in the Street in an open place and in corona populi but this name rather cometh because the death of every Subject by violence is accounted to touch the crown of the Prince and to be a detriment unto it The Prince accounting that his strength power and crowne doth consist in the force of his people and the maintenance of them in security and tranquillity The method of keeping the Coroners Court THe Coroners Court is a Court of Record and holden after this manner When a Coroner cometh to view a party that hath hanged killed or drowned himselfe or that hath come to his death by any other accident he must make out his warrant to impannel a Jury to the Bailiffe in whose Liberty the party lyeth dead to appeare before him at such a day and place as he shall mominate and appoint The forme of the Warrant is thus To the Bayliffe and also to the Constable and Tithing-men of the Hundred of R. in this behalfe joyntly and severally greeting BY vertue of mine office these are in the name of Richard Lord Protector of the Common-wealth of England Scotland and Ireland and the Dominions and Territories thereunto belonging to will and require you immediatly upon the receipt and sight hereof to summon and warn twenty foure able and sufficient men to be and appear before me at Skipton the 21. day of November next ensuing the date hereof at the common Tolbooth of the said Towne then and there to do execute such things as on his Highnesse behalfe shall be given them in charge whereof faile you not as you and every of you will answer the contrary at your perils Dated under my hand and seale the 12. day of September in the yeare of our Lord 1158.
