The grand jury made prescntmcnt,
had ignored twenty three bills and
found si1ty-tiye indictments, all but
three Of which were for violations of
the internal revenue laws reinting to
distilled spirits and tobacco. III their
prescntment they say: ".rhe grand jury
is of the opinion that if there were sta
toned at some central point in this Sec
tion OF tho State, where the distillation
OF corn into whiskey is carried on, an
officer OF the revenue who was tho
roughly conversant with the law, and
had complete knowledge of the me-.
thod of starting and working small dis
tileries, and who could advise with and
instruct such persons as might wish to
establish small distilleries, the result
would soon follow that legal distillcries
would be established which would soon
compel the proprietors thereof, from
motives Of mere mcrccnury interest, if
nothing else, to use their efforts to
break up illegal ones. and they would
become valuable aids to officers OF in
ternal revenue Whether the appro.
priations made by law are sufficient to
enable the internal revenue department
to appoint for this section such all
officer. the grand jury cannot, of course,
say, but they do believe it would be for
the interests Of the Government, rs i.
would certainly be for the interest Of
law abiding citizens Of this portion of
the State, that such an officer should be
appointed"
