The Grand Jury reported twenty-four
''true bills" and one bill not found. The
presentment of the County Jail was
quite pointed as to its inadequate accom-
modations and unwholesome arrangement,
and the recommendation of the Grand
Jury was that a new Jail be built or that
the old one be thoroughly overhauled
and repaired. The neatness and correct
manner in which the old jail and its sur
roundings are kept by Tailor Sanderson,
received the appreciation and commend
alton of the Grand Jury, and was well
merited, and we hope the time is not far
distant when the building itself will be
put in such a situation that the singing
criticisms of this presentment can have
no just application to it. The people
who have occasion to pay $13.94, for a
nights lodging in this institution, and
for the visit of the highly respectable
official gentlemen that calls upon them
in the morning, all make the same report
as the Grand Jury, and there is no doubt
but the complaint is just one.
The Grand Jury were discharged and
the court took a recess until Friday
morning.
