Requisition by majority of jurors for further post mortem examination

Where it appears to the greater number of the jurors sitting at any coroner’s inquest that the cause of death has not been satisfactorily explained by the evidence of the medical practitioner or other witness or witnesses examined in the first instance, that number of the jurors are hereby empowered to name to the coroner, in writing, any other legally qualified medical practitioner or practitioners, and to require the coroner to issue his order for the attendance of the last-mentioned medical practitioner or practitioners as a witness or witnesses, and for the performance of a post mortem examination, with or without an analysis of the contents of the stomach or intestines, and whether or not that examination has already been performed or not, and if the coroner, having been thereunto required, refuses to issue the order, he shall be deemed guilty of an offence.
