To the Honorable Raphael Beauvais,
Judge of the Fourth Judicial Dis
trict Court, Parish of Ascension.
The Grand Jurors of the State of
Louisiana in and for the Parish of As
eension respectfully represent, that
we have visited the parish prison and
find it in a good and clean condition !;
the prisoners are well and sufficiently
fed with good, healthy vietuals, and
expressed themselves satisfied. We
have also examined the Courthouse,
the Recorders Office and the Clerks
Office. The former is in a good state
of repair and only requires caps to be
placed over the chimney. The Re-
corder's office and the records therein
are in a tolerable state of preservation,
except the index, which is old, worm
eaten and all loose, and which should
be made as the law requires. We
would further recommend that an iron
safe be purchased for the safe keeping
of valuable papers, notes, ETC., which
may be deposited with the Recorder,
and which might also be used by the
Clerk of the Court as place of depos
it. We would also recommend that
iron bars be fixed to the transoms
over the doors of the Clerks and
Sheriff's Office.
Signed: G.. GAUTREAU,
