The Mercy Marketto-day is without any special
change, Since Canadian money was degraded

every day. True, BY this coursc the Wcst is

To THE Hon. RoBr. L. WILSON, fudge Of The
Recorders Court:
The Grand Jury for the August term Of
ycur Court, would respectfully report that
they have txnsninsd and disposed Of {as
ef1iee1e) by thereeords, the largest number Of
caees ttat have been before any Grand Jury
fer number ct years.
This i1creafc OF crime they attribute to the
fact that many persons Of doubtful character,
@nd no legitimate business, have taken up
their residence in the city, who are commit
ting burg'aIles, 1arceniez, &C., but are meeting
with prompt detection through the efficiency
Of the police, (Which under its neH system
is How more efficiently organEzed.)
Tie business before them, through the
promptnees Of the Sheriff, has been much Ia
cilitated, in supplying witnesses and giving
us Lis personal Attendance.
Ttey have also examined the county Jail,
and tiLd tie same to be in good order-clean,
well Ventilated, and the prisoners well fed and
a6 comfortable Us their circumstances and 90.
siticn will admit Of.
At The suggestion Of the Sheriff, they would
call the attenticn CT the Board CT Supervisors
and eity authorities to the apartments in the
Jail occupied by the female prisoners. Many
Of lie inmates a1e Of low character, and per.
son5 passing through the square, and go;ng IL
the Court House are constantly being 1nsu1ted
by them, who at times indulge in the most
degrading and scan6alous language. The
Grand Jury would recommend that screen
CT other suitable obstruction be placed befork
The windows in these apartments.
