INCIDENT AT INQUEST.

CORONER AND DOCTOR DISAGREE. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Christchurch, Feb. 7. There was an unusual happening at an inquest this morning concerning the death of a woman who died in hospital. Dr. Campbell, a member of the staff, was giving evidence as to the woman’s condition on admission, and the Coroner demanded certain details of treatment, and for a time the doctor refused to supply them. The Coroner persisted, and during a statement made by the doctor at the conclusion of his evidence the Coroner threatened to commit him for contempt of court.

In his verdict the Coroner said he was perfectly satisfied with the method of treatment, and that all possible was done for the woman, who died from heart failure associated with acute gastritis.
