The Grand Jury made the following spec
report, which was ordered to be spread on Ii
Grand Jury Report Book:
Si--In the absence of other business, the Gran
4 akfp Had tIsn
list, that they might ascertain why criminal case
that had come to their notice some time sinct
through the public Journals, were not brought b
fore them for examination, and they find that tn
| cause of the delay is 1.-THE absence of papers,
which are yet detained in the Recorders Courts
and in many cases where they are reported full
committed for trial. where any delay would al
pear to be inexcusable, tending, in the opinion
the Grand Jury, to defeat the ends of JUSTICE an
. to render the law imperative, enabling witnesse
to leave the State, and thus making it almost in
possible to convict the guilty. These delays operai
also very seriously upon those who may PROV
a upon examination, to be innocent; who must r
Q main incarcerated until their eases are brought
1 for examination; and they operate with like inju
: : tice and severity upon witnesses who may be d
tanned under bonds when their interests elsewhel
: may be seriously affected by their absence. An
o the Grand Jury would further report, that th
practice Of trying ofenses against the criminal "a
OF the State, imposing and collecting fines, and I
generating individuals for such ofenses, on tl
it part of Recorders is violation of law and dal
4 gerous abuse Of power, and Is calculated to rendt
!, the law of no effect, the offenders escaping !
penalties through the Illegal action OF the Recor
|, ers all Of which is against the peace and GOO
n order of the State, and calls for the prompt an
k energetic use of such remedies as may be with
g your Honorfs control.
