PREsESrMENr OF THE GRAND JuRr The Grand
Jury completed their labors for the present Term,
on Friday afternoon, and were discharged, with the
thanks OF the Court They found 96 true bills and
returned 10 bills ignored. OF this number % true
bills were for violation of the Prohibitory Law.
The Grand fury made the following present.
memt.-The Grand Jury of New Castle county, at
the May Term of the Court of General Sessions of
the Peace in and for said County in tho year 1885,
beg leave respectfully to bring TO the attention of
the Court the serious detriment to the public ia
forests of this county, resulting from the unsettled
state Of the question pending before the Court
respecting the constitutJnality of the Act Of the
last General Assembly, for the Suppression of In.
temperance.
AT the last term Of this Court 1t being considered
due TO the rights Of persons indicted violating
this Act, to postpone the decision of the question
until this term the Court took occasion publicly to
enjon upon all citizens, the duty Of yielding obed-
ence unto the Act as the law of the land, until il
ha k.yt boT ltyl.
alone is competent authoritatively, to decide upon
Its validity. 1t was hoped that this seasonable
caution from the Court would have been universally
respected.
But the Grand Jurors, in tho course Of the bust
brought before them at this term, have become
painfully impressed with the fact, that as a result
OF the doubt thrown upon the validity Of the law its
obligations have, to great extent, been disregard
ed, and that whatever benefits to the public might
fow from its due observance, have been, thus far,
neutralzed, And as the License Law which was
superseded by the lato Act ceased to be enforced
tho public are, practically, almost without any pro-
lection by law against the evis,of intemperdnce
These convictions of the Grand Jurors arc found
ed both upon their general observation and upon
the great number of indictments for the violation OF
tho Act which have been brought before them, most
Of which have been we'll sustained by proof. Look
ing TO the possibility of any further application to
the Court, for delay in the decision of the constu-
tiOnal question raised respecting this Act the Grand
Jury have supposed that tho injurious effect of such
delay upon the public interests, as IL has manifested
itself to them 10 the Of their official duties,
might be subject of just consideration with the
Court in disposing Of such an application. and ii so,
that the Grand Jury, the organ OF the government,
specially charged wth the peace and good order of
society, might properly bring these interests to the
judicial knowledge and consideration OF the Court
Tue Grand Jury need hardly add in conclusion,
that they dsclaim all disposition to encroach upon
the exclusive province of the Court to determine
upon the consideration satisfactorily to itself alone,
all questions touching the conduct OF its proceeding
and the rights Of parties charged before it.
Tue Grand Jurors would further present the me-
eessity for epairs and alterations, such their
predecessors recommended. in the Court House and
Jail and that the latter building they believe to be
in such state as to be neither secure ms place oil
confinement, fit, on account of its want Of yenta
tion and light, for use in that way.
