| The grand jury made prescntmcnt,
stating that during their session they
had ignored twenty three bills and
found si1tytiye indictments. Ill but
three OF which were for violations OF
the internal revenue laws relating to
distilled spirits and tobacco. Ii their
prescntment they say: "The grand jury
/
toned at some central point in this sec
ton of the State, where the distillation
of corn into whiskey is carried on, an
officer of the revenue who was tho.
roughly convcrsant with the law, and
had complete knowledge of the me-
thod Of starting and working small dis.
tilleries, and who could advise with and
instruct such persons as might wish to
establish small distilleres, the result
would soon follow that legal distilleries
would be established which would soon
compel the proprietors thereof, from,
motives OF mere ncrccnary interest, il
nothing else, to usc their efforts 10
break up illegal oncs. and they would
become valuable aids to officers OF in.
ternal revenue. Whether the appro
priations made by law are sufficient tc
enablo the internal revenue dcpartme emf
to appoint for this section such az
officer. the grand jury cannot, Of course,
say, but they do bellevc it would be fol
the Interests OF the Government, as i:
would certainly be for the interest oi
law abiding citizens OF this portion oil
the Sta!e, thGt such an officer should be
appointed"
