FHR GRAND JURY,s REPORT.

We, the Grand Jury, in and for said coun-
", having concluded our labors, beg leave tc
submit the following report:
WehaVe found and submitted to the Court
twelve indictments for various crimes,
three Of which; we regret to say, are for the
highest crime known to our law.
We have examined the County Jail, and
lind it strong and substantial, and kept clean
and neat. The jailors rendered us every as
sistance, and the prisoners themselves have
no cause for complaint We regret, howey-
er, that there are so large a number of pris-
oners in confinement, but find them in good
health and well cared for.
We have also visited the County Hospital,
and find it in good order and condition and
believe every assistance within reach is rem
dered the invalids We find, however, that
those two institutions, owing to the large
number of prisoners and great number of
indigent.sick, are the source of the great ex-
pense of the county
We have also examined into the affairs of
the county, from its organization up to the
present time, and herewith submit the an
nexed report:
We would recon- BEND to the County Com
missioners and various county officers, but
more especially to the County Commissioners,
the most rigid economy in the management
of the county affairs, and to allow 40 BILLS
unless they be strictly legal.
For the kind treatment we have received
AT the hands Of the Court, receive our warm
est thanks
The Sheriff and his deputies have been
prompt and efficient in their duties while
waiting upon the Grand jury, and rendered
every assistance to facilitate our labors.
The District Attorney will also receive our
thanks for his punctual attendance, and
good councils during our Investigations,
and for his conduct as a gentleman and an
attorney.
And to the citizens, we return you our sim
~Acere thanks for your kind remembrances,
while pursuing our labors as Grand Jurors.
