We have ~xamine all the criminal
cases brought before us, or that came to
our observation, and have found three
bills ct Indictment: One % for murder;
one N for an assault with intent to COM
nit MURDER; one o. for burglary.
We selected Messrs. Theodore A. Hale

hereuntO annexed, and is made a part OF
this report, We recommend that the
stat and exhibits nadethy the eX-
perts be filed in the office of the Clerk of
tn Is Court, for future reference
| We find, upon examination thai the
county Jail needs repairing ana recon-
mend that uc repairs as are necessary
be made.
We also find that the county hospital is
untitled for the purposes designated, and
that the unfortunate inmates are not
treated with that care which should be
bestowed upon them We aherefore re-
commend the commissioners to provide
for them a more.comfortable place.
In our Investigations we find that the

hoes not appear to us. Among them Is
the properly of Mr.. :. \. Nevers, County
Commissioner As such II does appear
that both these officers have Intentionally
or Inadvertently failed TO perform their
| duties.
We regret to report that we are inform
u, by tbe District Attorney that there Is
no law on the statute books Of this State
TO punish persons for buying and selling

nope ard trust that our next legislature
will pass fringe election laws, that in
