freedom concerning the misdoings Of
certuin officials there. They say: alt
has come to the knowledge of the Grand
Jury hat Constable Nelly was guilty Of
m unprOvoked assault upon Augustus
Botto i'll the Corner SnloOn, and while
they find themselves powerless to bring
an indictment against tho said consta-
bic, the statute places this character Of
offense within the jurisdiction Of the
Justices Court, yet the Grand Jury
cannot pass the matter without censur-
ing the said constable rs being guilty
of Il violation Of the peace and dignity
Of the State, which violation is particu-
larry to be condemned in MI officer TO
whom the people have q right to look
us u preSrrYGr and not u dislulbcr of the
peace. 1t has also come to the knowl-
edge Of tho Grand Jury that officers

mend thut III tho future no prisoners
bo allowed liberty Of any kind, aud
also that all prisoners under sentence
be compelled to work on the public
