An Act to authorise the division of the Wapentake of Langbaurgh in the county of York into Districts for the purpose of Coroners jurisdiction, and the appointment of additional Coroners for the said Wapentake.
[5th August 1873]
Whereas the wapentake of Langbaurgh in the county of York is a liberty having a separate coroner, and the right of appointing such coroner is vested in the chief bailiff for the time being of the wapentake:
And whereas the said wapentake is a large and populous district, and it is expedient that it be divided into separate districts for the purpose of coroners jurisdiction, that additional coroners be appointed for the wapentake, and that such provision as is herein-after contained be made for the apportionment among the several coroners for the wapentake of the salary and functions of the existing coroner:
Be it enacted by the Queen's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
1 Short title.
1. This Act may be cited as theLangbaurgh Coroners Act, 1873.
2 Scheme to be framed for the division of wapentake of Langbaurgh into districts.
2. The justices of the north riding of the county of York in quarter sessions assembled may, at the Michaelmas quarter sessions to be held next after the passing of this Act, settle a scheme for the division of the wapentake of Langbaurgh into three districts, to be assigned to separate coroners, and for the apportionment among such coroners of the salary received by the existing coroner for the wapentake.
The said justices shall, before settling such scheme, consult the existing chief bailiff and the existing coroner of the wapentake with respect thereto.
The scheme shall set out the boundaries of the proposed districts, and shall give a name to each of such districts, and shall declare for which of the three districts the existing coroner for the wapentake is to act.
The scheme when settled shall be submitted for confirmation to one of Her Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State, and he may, after hearing such representations, if any, as the existing chief bailiff and coroner of the wapentake respectively may make with respect to the scheme, confirm the same with or without variations.
