Dear all
Does anyone know if there was a particular date when coroners' inquests
stopped being filed by the Quarter Sessions Court? I had always assumed that
the inquests stopped being filed at the court when Quarter Sessions were
superseded by Crown Courts in 1971. However, loooking through our record
books the lists of inquests stopped appearing around 1960, although the
record books continue until 1969.
If anyone can shed any light on this I would be very grateful.
