To Honorable Il. X. Bigelotr, Judqe

We, tho Grand Jury, have examined

ton. We found true bills ms follows:
One for manslaughter, one for murder

One for mayhem, and two for grand
larceny. A. ]. DALLAS, Foreman.
Attest: E. S. YEArEs. Clerk.
We. the Grand Jury, do recommend
and request the Commissioners Of this
county to employ an expert or experts
for the purpose OF n thorough examina.
ton of the various county offices and
accounts.
We further recommend that nm Hp,
preparation be made by the Commits,
sioners OF this county, to be offered NJ
a reward for tho capture Of n jeff
Morse; and further, thnt proper appli-
cation be made by proper authority tc
His Excellency, the Governor, for M
appropriation rs a reward for the cap
turo of said JEFF. Morse.
Tho Grand Jury, in body, made ar
examination OF tho public buildings
and in the performance Of this duty ",
have to complain Of tho lamentabl,
absence OF a suitable firo-proof vault e
contain the records OF the county, which
have accumulated since its organization
Although grand juries have repeatedly
recommended improvements In thil
direction, still no action has been had
We therefore insist, in view Of th,
dangerous and exposed condition Of III,
valuable records and other property
that tho County Commissioners shall
cause to DO constructed o suitable FIRE
proof vault.
In the matter Of county buildings ",
would say that we find all in good order
with the exception Of as above stated.
We find tho prisoners kept in clear
and healthy condition, and have moth
ing to recommend in this direction.
We aud tho inmates Of tho Count,
Hospital in as comfortable q condition
as can be expected, considering tn
small and insufficient quarters occupied
in this respect. We would, as many o
our predecessors have done, Recommend
that q better building DO supplied.
