ofhc Fist Circuit. 81.
The Graud Jury in attendance at tue
present term Of the said Court beg leave
respectfully to report.
That in the performance Of their
duties they have visited all the public
Offices, institutions aud buildings. Tho
Jail they fui in very good order aud
condition. They 6ui III the Jail about
seven (7) prisoners Who informed the
Grand Jury that tliey were well fed 40 /
cared for. Heard Of no Irregularities
and received no compl,iu,s. The Offices
of Probate Judge, Sheriff, Clerk Of the
Court, and School Commissioners, all
appeared to be in good order, and the
Grand Jury have heard Of no complaints
IN regard to these Offices, or Of the lfad.
ncr in which they transact their several
and respective duties. They have also
visited the Offices of the Coeusy Com.
missionera, Auditor, and Trensures, mud
every thing appeared to be in good order
MS far as they could Judge, but the
Grand Jury however deem It their duty
to call the atteution OF the Court to tho
complaints which have been made. Ono
Of them, rs in regard to the manncr in
which tho County Commissioners let OUT
contracsa, for building aud repairing
bridges. They learn that tho Lake
Bridge at Orangcburg on the North
Edisto aud Binuaker's Bridge over the
South Edisto, about fifteen miles apsrs
were let ont in ono contract; and not
having been advertised by posting
notices in three (s) public places, us
required by law. The Grand Jury
would further report that they have
heard great deal of complaint in re-
gard to tho manner in which the taxes
have been assessed and collected. In
number. of instances Taxpayers have
been put to trouble and expense by
having their ! rqperty advertised ior sale
on the delinquent list, or executions
levied upon them, when at tho sane
time the said Taxpayers had 10 their
possession their receipts for said taxes
from the Treasurer. This leads the
Grand Jury to believe that there mus.
be careessness by those officers whose
duty it is to assess aud collect the taxes,
and also that in many instances parties
have cndeavored to pay their taxes, aud
haye .been Informed that there was no
tax against them, and after the time for
collecting the taxes bad expired, have
had executions levied upon their pro.
rerty. These Irregularities tho Grand
Jury trust will Tor tho future DO avoid.

to sound and settled principles of law and public
policy, vet that suit did not go SO far Dc 10 say
that Que of the parties had not the right TO re-
cover so much money as hc had deposited IN the

said that the subJect of this sut was part Of the
matter OF the former One and that the demurrer, on

day, morning, the body OF au unknown man was
found floating in the Delaware river, near Belle
vcu. The body was drawn ashore but was found
10 be dccOmposed, by the action of the water,
beyond recognition. Coroner Winslow held
an inquest in the afternoon, but the investigation
failed to reveal the identity OF the body. There
was nothing about the cloifi1g that would lead
TO a recognition of the remains. The body had
evidently remained in the water two or three
weeks. The jury rendered verdict that the de
ceased, "came TO his death by drowning" and the
remains were inferred on the river shore. near
where they tound.
