F,esenrment If the Grand jury The Grand Jury
came into Court to- day, and made the following pre-
sentiment. This presentment read and ordered on
file and the Grand Inquest discharged from further
attendance
New YoRx, Jan. "a, 1851.
The Grand Jury, now in session, and EN- an neIled
for the Court Sessions for the city and county of
New York would respectfully call the attention of
their fellow citizens and the public authorities, bot
and Executive to the foow wing
among many others which need immediate aud
prompt correction
LIST The Grand IL quest ect their attention to the
Of OBTAINING prisoners, (awaiting trial At the
Halls OF ustice) having learned that both old aud
young delinquents are kept together in the same
room Having, by The SOLICITATION OF the keeper,
made personal inspection of the premises they and
it i'm possible be otherwise with the present accom-
modstions and would therefore call the attention OF
the Common Council to the subject and through
them, the attention Of the State Legislsture, that
some means may be devised for more extended and
separate accommodations for juvenile delinquents;
and would recommend that the Sixth ward station
house be removed from this building which will then,
for the present, afford the sccomm additions needed
and would also take the liberty to suggest that it
might be practicable to apply some Of the taxes de-
rived from the city and paid into the State treasury
Il IN hts fhAnf Srrn f,prfh urf
atoms to this And they would take the liberty
to suggest the application Of the fund arising from
that, come years since, while the State was lsboiing
under p.cunisry difficulties, this fund, which was
originally appropriated to county uses was directed
to the pay the canal debt but that necessity
having ceased to exist, the inquiry would Seem to
arise whether this fund could not now be
to the purpose herein susgested!
I'd Another subject. which has aroused the mRds
of many philsnthropists, Is lottery gambling. Ii

sd. From the many sad catastrophss which have
occurred the inquest feels called up direct the At
tsntiop of the authorities TO the careless in
which buildings erected this city. These Acci.
dents do not generally happen from any dehcsacy In
the quality OF the materials, but from the mode In
which they are combined. Any person going through
the town will see net only single but whole Of
houfes having only the partition and walls
up while the fronts left unbuilt for weeks-the
partition walls beisg exposed to be blown down any

propose that Law be passed. prohibiting the erection
of any building unless all the walls put up
gether, and that suitable ofcer be entrusted With
the execution Of the Law.
