Ch. XXVII Local Registrars
§.4. Death recording function
Instructions
Anglice

2 1

§.4. 5.6 Death recording function &c.

Instructions to the Legislator

1
Art. 1. English law
functionaries whose functions
are performed by Registrars
Death, Marriage and Birth
recording do, are
1. Parish Minister
Registration function
2. Coroners with Coroner's
Jury.

By these two local functionaries are performed in conjunction
the several kinds of service performed under
English bred law by the Keeper of the Parish Registers
and the Coroner with his Jury

2
Art. 2. English system
unapt, cause of the
unaptitude the barbarous
state of the originating
times.

Of the English system the extreme inadequacy
is among the results of the inexperienced and barbarous
ages in which it took has its origin.

3
Art. 3. Of the unaptitude
of this part of the registration system
cause, ill-will towards
men, fond of what is
called religion: to adequately
dis
the resulting evils
would require a volume

In Blind the blindest intolerance, the fruit and tyrannical oppression, fruits of what goes by the is called
name of religion is the cause of all that the evils with
which every thing that relates to the record of those the universally
and preeminently interesting event has hitherto
swarmed: to particularize them would require a
volume: in no part of the system is any regard for
the greatest happiness principle discernible

4
Art. 4. Unapt the Coroners
Inquest system, were it
only for the distance
he and witnesses have
to go, especially in the
largest Counties: thence
the expence

No otherwise directed
than by the Non-entity
Common Law, his conduct
is arbitrary,
determined by the sinister
interest of the occasion.

The Coroners inquest, though better than nothing,
would be palpably inadequate were it only for the distance
to which this functionary together with his have to go, in of
especially in some of the Counties, and the expence
necessitated by his journeys. But the exercise of the direction of this important
function being left to the Non-entity called Common
Law is determined on every occasion by whatever sinister
interest happens to have place.
