they have had under consideration 410 pre-
sentiments, and have returned 3S4 true bills,
ignoring the remaining &c. We regret 20
say that the large number of go OF those
are for selling goods without license.
The Grand Jury has also made the usual
official visit TO the County Prison, and are
gratiiied 10 be able to report that we find
both the Prison and inmates in the same
good condition to which reference was made
in the report at tho May term, and we would
most earnestly reiterate the suggestions and
recommendations contained in TINT report
respecting an increase OF accommodation
for the inmates Of the Prison.
A very large proportion Of the business
beioie the Grand Jury is made up of assault
and battery, petty larceny, selling good'
without license, aud liquor contrary to law
and from the tritling nature ni many Of these
cases we are decidedly OF the opinion that
the Laws of the State should be so modified
as TO provide for the trinl OF NIL such cases
by a Court similar 10 that established by the
