When an inquest is held on any death or dead body, the Coroner shall inquire of and find the particulars required by this Act to be registered concerning the death, and send to the Registrar for the district within five days after the finding is given, a certificate under that person’s hand giving information concerning the death, and specifying any finding with respect to the said particulars and to the cause of death, and specifying the time and place at which the inquest was held; and the Registrar shall, if the death has not been previously registered, register the same and enter on both the form and counterfoil the date of the inquest, the name of the Coroner or other officer holding the same, and the verdict; and attach the said certificate to the said form and send them in due course to the Registrar-General.
If the death has been previously registered, and the registration form book containing the counterfoil of such registration is still in that person’s possession, the Registrar shall enter on such counterfoil the above particulars, and send the certificate to the Registrar-General.
The Registrar-General in any such case shall, in addition to the things by this Act required to be done in ordinary cases, cause the abovementioned particulars touching the inquest to be entered on the registration form in that person’s possession, and, in the event of the registration form book having been sent to the Registry, cause such particulars to be entered also on the counterfoil containing the entry, and cause the said certificate to be put away with the registration form, in such place as may be provided.
Where an inquest is held on any death or dead body, no person, with respect to such death or dead body, is liable to attend on a requisition of a Registrar, or be subject to any other provision of this Act.
