Report q Grand Jury Of Bossier
Parish.

10 THE HONORABLE, THE
JUDGE OF THE 18TH JUDICIAL
DISTRICT: The Grand Jnryof
Bossier Parish have the honor
to make the following report:
Remembering particularly
your instructions from the
bench, they have impartially
inquired into all crimes and
violation of law, that has come
to their knowledge, and in a
faithful discharge of duty, have
endeavored to SEND in for trial
before your honorable Court,
only such cases in which the
laws Of the State should be
INDICATED.
It is gratifying to report the
condition Of our parish as
peaceable, with a disposition
manifested for the proper re-
gard of law and order; and
more particularly is this con-
dition gratifying for the rea-
son that we have just passed
through a political excitement
and campaign nnparrelled in
the history Of the State.
The labor and industry of
the country is as usual-all
classes being engaged in the
peaceful pursuits of life. We
therefore congratulate your
i-tE
honor upon the prospect of a
diminution of crime and viola
tons Of law, which attends all
industrious people. We have
patiently labored in the inter
est OF the people, and our find
ings are such we hope that
may go to sustain those laws
established for the protection
of society. We take pleasure
in noting the impartiality of
your Honor's rulings, and be-
lieve you are actuacted by a
consciousness Of duty in which
the laws will be properly vim
Dictated.
The interest of the State is
justly guarded by the efficient
District Attorney, to whom we
desire to render due thanks
for his attentions upon our
body. ALI officers of the Court
have been obliging in their at
tentions, to whom we extend,
through you, the proper &C
acknowledgements.
The condition of the public
buildings are such we find no
special complaint. Upon visit
ing the Jail it was found in
good condition; butas the win
ter is approaching we particu-
larry wish the attention Of the
Police Jury called to the fact
that, prisoners should be pros
yided with mattresses and
blankets, and such comforts
that humanity demands. There
is confined in the Jail two in
sane colored women regularly
interdicted, that should be sent
to the State Lunatic Asylum,
and renewed efforts should be
made by the officers Of the
Court to get them admitted.
AL members Of the Grand
Jury are aware of the bad con-
dition of the public roads, but
no complaint against oyerseers
has come before them, and it
has been impossible FL retnrn
