pres<nt state of the place where th- prisoners are
detaiued there was no proper provision for the dates& in
of such priconers. The Judge commented upon it in his
charge to the Grand Jury, and said he thought it was
a matter requiring the attention of the Grand Jury.
Of C.,W00 the authority to deal with the matter wee
the Court of Quarter Session., not the Grand Jury.

not think the road was at present in a satisfactory
