The case of Henry Muin Us. The Belair Turnpike

ly house, was held to bail in the sum of $50
His Honor, Judge Price, in order to visit his
home in Hartford, adjourned Court until Tuesday
morning next.
The Grand Jury of the present term after a sitting
OF eleven days arose to-day and submitted the fol.
lowing report to the Court:
GRAND jury Room, May 81 1859.
To the Hon. .Judge Price:
The Grand jury have, according to custom, made
visit OF examination to the county Jail. The Jury
regret that they have not had time to make a more
particular investigation into the state of the
building itself, and longer time to make their re-
port
They all agree that the state of the iaiI is good
the condition of the prisoners, their accommoda-
tions and fare well attended to by the author
tiles having the Jail in charge, but the jury
unanimously agree that the present build
ing is unsuited and inadequate to the
wants of Baltimore county. The Jail is, in the
first place. too small; in the next, it is insecure it
being the opinion of the Sheriff that the security
OF prisoners depends upon the personal atten-
ton than to any security in the building ITSELF
There is no wall around the building; the conse-
quence is, there is way of preventing prisoners
from having communication with persons outside
the building. Liquor and tools can be introduced
and communications made to the inmates, in spite
of the vigilance of the officers; and the prisoners
are necessarily confined to the interior of the build
ing, where all mix promscuousy together, and
the innocent cannot, even if they wish, separate
themselves from the vicious. The moral influence
of the Institution must, therefore, be bad and de-
mands the earnest attention of those in authority.
The Grand Jury merely call the attention of the
county authorities to the state of the building,
leaving 1t to them to make such alterations as to
them may seem judicious. They will, however,
suggest that some of the cells be made secure, and
that wall be at once built of the proper proper
tions around the building.
Which is most respectfully submitted
