A committee of the Massachusetts Council reported in 1845 that the governor should direct the state secretary to issue a circular to any officers who had not posted bond as required by law, to inform them of their neglect and that failure to give bond would result in removal from office. A list of coroners with names appearing on the books of executive appointments who had not yet given bond was given to the committee, which recommended that lists of all appointed coroners living and residing in the counties be prepared. Series consists of responses to secretary's inquiries, and resulting list.
