The Isle Of Man is divided into six administrative districts, called sheadings. The six sheadings are Ayre , Glenfaba , Garff , Michael , Rushen and Middle . The sheadings form the basis of some constituencies and each has a Coroner . This office must not be confused with the Coronor for Inquests, a role usually fulfilled by the High Bailiff . A person may fulfil the role of coroner for more than one sheading at the same time. The term 'sheading' is thought to be a Norse word for 'ship division'; each district was believed to be responsible for producing a certain number of warships. It could also be a Celtic word meaning 'sixth part'. |
