THE CORONER CENSOR.
The new Coroner for the Wairarapa (Mr J. T. M. Hornsby) is adding piquancy, if not illumination, to the gruesome environment of his position; by adopting the role of a censor. On one occasion he commends the police for doing what' is their manifest. duty. On another he scourges a witness for failing to pursue a course which he intended pursuing. On a third he volunteers information concerning .the duty of people who find, dead bodies. Presently he may be expected to bave something to say to the medical men, and the Press, and the Legislature. Censorship is well in it's'way';'but there is just a danger of its being overdone, and of its being construed into "flapdoodle."
