We, your Jail Committee, beg leave to
make the following report: We have WIS.,
tied the jail this morning and find forty
eight prisoners, all well except two or
three. The prisoners are well clothed and
seemed satisfied with the food furnished
them. We regret. to report the jail and
| jailyard in rather filthy condition. The
walls of the cells are black with smoke,
and therefore not very pleasant in appear
ance. Tho new Tailor gave us every as
surance thatevery thing about the prison
should be put in better order as soon as
possible, and put in better condition
for the future. We again appeal to
this honorable Court for some provision
for the two crazy persons, man and wo-
man, now confined in jail. They should
not be kept in their present condition
a day longer than is necessary to re-
move them to the Asylum for the Insane.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
