To the Hon. Judges Of Ball. City Court;
The committee appointed by the court at the
September term, have, in discharge ofther Of
fetal duties, visited and examined the Peniten-
tary, and examined into its condition and dis
cipline. They find the institution, under the
supervision of Mr.. Johnson and his officers, in
lis usual high state Of order and discipline, and
its various branches of manufactures in a pro-
fitable and improving state. The substitution
of new and more costly fabrics for the common
cotton goods, in which the institution was for
merly almost exclusively engaged, has bad
most beneficial effect upon its finances, and has
removed the long standing cause of complaint
on the part of the poor weaver, with whose pro-
ducts, those goods came in direct competition.
1t is believed, that the institution, in its dscip-
line and general management, will compare
favorably with any of similar character in our
country. The report of the Warden, showing
the number prisoners, and how employed, IS
herewith submitted. Signed,
