In tho Assembly Mr Price, Leader of the Labor Party, moved an adjournment to discuss the case of the City Coroner Dr Ramsay Smith, who has been suspended, tho result of rumors regarding the alleged mutilation of doad bodios, and the subsequent action of the Government in acceding to Dr Smith’s request to appoint a Board of Enquiry. Mr Price said that rumors of a most sonsational character were current, causing much excitement. They alleged, Mr Price said, that graves had been opened and bodies were found to be missing, some with the heads off, and others (including those of a number of public men) with portions missing or terribly mutilated. Thirty doctors were said to be implicated. He urged the Government, which had so far refusod to disclose anything, to produce the charges made against Dr. Smith and his reply.
