The Grand jury IN their late presentments,
make an aliuslon to cur police system, and think.
ing that as much depends upon the character of the
men appointed to fill the situations as upon the
number, recommend that strict inquiry be lnsti-
tuted as to what officers are in the habit OF asso'
ciating or corresponding with thieves and pick
pockets. This has been induced by the fact Of
one Of them having crossed Chestnut street in or
der to shake hands with one OF the lightfngeree
fraternity. If this suggestion of the Grand Jury
| is needed by the proper authority, it is though
| there will be removals here as we'll as in Wash
ington.
