	Talbot J discussed the need for evidence before a coroner to be sworn evidence: "Again it is clear that a coroner's inquest is not bound by the strict law of evidence. No doubt a coroner has considerable latitude as to the way in which he may conduct the inquest; he is not fettered by detailed rules of procedure; but on the other hand, the proceedings are formal, they are conducted on lines which are now established by long usage, and the public and those more particularly interested have a right to expect that the verdict will be given upon the sworn evidence heard at the inquest and upon nothing else."
