STATE OF LOUISIANA, I
Parish of Ouachita.
10 the Hon. S. @. Parsons, .IueIge Of
14kh Judicial District Cbu,t:
The Grand Jury having been duly
empanneled and charged by your
Honor, beg leave to make the follow
ing report:
tions of the criminal law known to US
or brought to our knowledge, and have
returned true bills in all cases in which
we believed the evidence sufficient to
convict.
We have examined numerous frivi-
lous cases brought before US which we
Investigated thoroughly and find them
brought malicfously to injure Others
merely for personal qualification. We
have turned over to the District At
torney q few cases with recommends
ton to file bills of information against
offenders for the reason that to con-
sumo the time of the Grand Jury in
vestigating would be more expensive
to the parish.
We have examined the public build
ings and find all in good repair, except
some repairs necessary on Jail, which
we recommend the President of the
Police Jury to have made. We find
the Jail we'll kept and the prisoners
well cared for.
Tho roads are in good condition ex-
cept where the overseers have died or
removed.
We are glad to state that gool feel
ing exists throughout the parish and
that crime is ON the decrease.
We herewith return our docket which
shows our proceedings, and ask that it
be filed with our report.
Thanking your Honor and our eff
Gent District Attorney, Mr.. w. N.
Potts, and the Court officers, for courte-
sizes extended to us during our labors,
we respectfully ask to be discharged
from further service at this term of the
Court.
