Jacob Dorrington & Ruth Dorrington, New Zealand 1876 (General)
Hi
It was not at all unusual for an Inquest to be held in a local inn.
As for the speedy burial, I'm sure no-one would welcome having a dead body lying around over Christmas. Sorry if that sounds a bit harsh, but it was the reality I'm afraid.
Regards
