PREsENTMENT OF THE GRAND jury
The grand jury mode the following pre-
sentiment at the present term of the
Court Of General Sessions:
In closing the lubors of the present
term, the grand jury beg leave to make
the following presentment:
We are gratifed at the comparatively
small number Of cases in which persons
are charged with crime. BY the assist
ance of the superior officers of the court,
our duties with reference to these were
made comparatively light.
We have visited the several County
Offices. and in the short time at our dis
posal, acquired suoh information as we
could relative to their management.
The officers themselves explained, with
much pains, the manner of conducting
the business in their respective Offices,
which, in every instance, appeared to be
we'll suited to the object in view. afford
ing a convenient means of readily OBJ
tanning knowledge of any transaction
with which the Office had been con-
nected.
The keeping, voluntarily and gratuit-
ously. Of Trial Justices Sessions Index
by the Clerk Of the Court, appeared
highly commendable, in view Of the
great advantage accruing therefrom to
the public. Of the management of the
other business in the Clerks Office, we
can only speak in the most favorable
terms. We are equally grati6ed at what
we saw Of the work in the Office of the
County Treasurer. Mr.. G. A. Darling,
the efficient assistant in this Office, is es-
pecally entitled to favorable mention.
To the Sheriff's Office and that of the
Judge OF Probate the same commenda-
ton is due. In the County Auditors
Office there was much to commend, but
we deem it proper to say that on account
of the failure Of the County Auditor to
charge up any tax for school purposes,
none was collected. In defence of his
action he states that he was not apprised
OF the action of the Trustees of Schools
in favor of raising fund for the support
OF common schools. We have to regret
/ that such an important interest was me-
elected, and that there is no law to COM
pei the payment of the poll tax. which
goes to the credit of the school fund
We regret that our information is too
: limited at present to warrant us in say
ing anything about tue Poor House.
We visited the Jail and presume. from
