Their Final Report to Judge Whlta-
ker, and Their Discharge.
Hon. W. r. Whitaker, Judge of the Superior
Criminal Court:
The grand jury beg leave TO submit TO your
honor this their final report:
The time for which the grand jury was IN
ranp{ed was necessarily limited and although
but few cases have come under their super
vision, they have endeaFofed 70 eonseleh-
tiousIy fulfill their duties.
Their labors are comprised ID the following
returns:
one true bill for ernbezzlenent.
One true bill for false i'm prisonnnent.
One not true bill for nanslaughtsr.
One not true bill for arson.
In accordance with Instructions from your
honor. they have visited and carefully exam
med the following charitable Institutions:
The Mount Carmel Asylum, for females.
under charge of Sister Albert Third District:
st. Mary,s Boys Asylum, under charge OF
Asylum OF the Immaculate Conception, Tor
females, under charge Of Sister Madeleine.
The Parish Prison.
The Louisiana Retreat.
The Protestant Boys and Girls, Orphan
ASYLUM, In the Sixth District.
The Jewish Orphan Asylum, on Jackson
street, under charge OF Mr.. and Mrs. Bunsell.
They can but reiterate the reports Of the
former grand iaries, Tor they have II almost
every case found every portion q the main
and, With Tie exception hereinafter mem
toned, the entire mana cement well. In fact.
all Is done by those in charge to make the
waits placed under their tender care forgetful
of the great loss they have suffered.
-FOUR grand jury desire at this time 70 call
a the attention OF those interested TO the fo.-
lowing necessities, and sincerely hope that
the institution may Be provided FOR: -
In the st. Mary's Boys Asylum, owing TO
the loss occasioDed by the fire, there are no
mosquito bars nor blankets. As the summer
Is upon US, the former ara badly needed, AND
BIS the Wintry months will soon come, the lat
ter should be provided for. The good, the
kind, the charitable should use all means
within their gpower TO prevent the sufferings
OF the poor orphans.
Another cause OF complaint In the same
the Board of Health, the Sanitary Associa-
ton or the city authorities, is the filthy con-
condition Of che priyies and closets Of That
Institution, They are badly constructed, and
they are FIJI and oyera o5ring, not having been
eIea1sed evidently for a very long time.
Three hundred small boys and those having
charge OF the asylum are daily lnhaIing the
foul gases arising thereffofn, and thus en-
gendefing within their systems TYPHOID ana
other deadly fegers, while those whose duly
it is to Iook after matters OF this kind have
well done their duties in other portions OF
this city, they evidently have overlooked Gnls
particular place. We trust, however, this Will
soon be rennedeG.
A matter Of importance which your grand
jury have had brought to their notice, and
which would have been properly investigated
but for the want Of time, believing as we DID
that 1t was Of sucn grave import, is the daily
charges, made through the press and III daily
conversations, OF the sale OF tainted AND
diseased meats in cur markets, public and
private, the Strengthening OF diseased cattle
and the loose manner OF inspection. lt IS
true that no particular case was brought 70
our notice, but as it IL matter Of Importance
to the health Of the city, some one III power
the Board Of Health, or may be the Sanitary
Association, or the city authorities should
examine closely and critically these state
ments. Ii it can by examination in any way
be substantiated, and any one found violating
the general laws, swift and strong punish
ment should be melted out TO TIE offenders
t. however, the charges are wrpn IT, ~ pnb-
the better The health OF our community de
pends upon what Is eaten, as We'll as BY the
general cleanliness OF our streets. Inc one Is
e as essential as the other, as as NUMBER OF
our pubIie-spirited citizens nave TAKEN ~
hand the cleanliness of our city, the sale Of
meats should be thoroughly investigated.
Before closing our report we Deg 20 Tecog-
niza and acknowledge the uniform hlhdItss,
ability, courtesy and assistance g1veh4 W tLl.a
ney, the clerk of court, and other officers villa
whom It was our province to meet.
Respectfully,
