Paul Brown signs the declaration following his swearing in as the new Waimarino Coroner last Thursday, while Judge Richard Watson looks on. The local lawyer takes over the job of coroner from Godfrey Harvey who has recently retired. Judge Watson told the court coroners spend a considerable amount of time for very little remuneration in what was an important office for the district. It would require considerable personal sacrifice on the part of Mr Brown. The judge said the office was not one of high public profile but a coroner's findings were often of great importance both locally and nationally. He cited the recent case of an accident with a Mitsubishi L300 van. "You are very fortunate in this area to have someone of the calibre of Paul Brown," said Judge Watson.
