The grand jury reported that, III pur
suancc of the order OF the court, they hao
examined the county Jail, and found 1t II
very bad condition, on account ol the wan
OF proper sewers to carry oil the accumn
lating filth. This they thought could b'
rcmedicd BY the expenditure OF the sun
of three hundred dollars.
They also reported that the Jail had no
been whitewaShed, as was required to b'
| done by the law.
| They also recommended that an appro
priation of sufficient amount be made tt
enable the sheriff to get Il suitable place
for an Office near enough to be conyenicn
for the tailor to remain in and keep his Office
and place of business; and that the Iallo
be regularly sworn in as deputy sheriff o
the county, as the law directs. The presen
tailor is an acting magistrate and membe
of the court, which, they say, is contrar!
! to law.
