GRAND JURY REPORT.
To the Honorable James Trip,
Judge of the Court of Common Pleas:
"The Grand Jury of the Court of
Common Pleas of said county, of the
October Term, 1881. beg leave to re-
port that they have been in session
six days, and herewith return to the
Court the Indictments presented by
said jury. We have carefully exam
ined into all such matters as have leg
Ultimately come to our notice, having
examined two hundred and 81
witnesses, examined 81 transcripts and
presented one hundred bills and ig-
nored seven cases considered by US.
The business has been transacted in as
expeditions manner as possible.
During our session we have visited
the County Jail and made complete
examination thereof, and find that the
rules prescribed by the Court for the
care thereof and for the government
Of its inmates, have faithfully been
carried out and properly enforced.
Confined in the Jail we found five
persons. Two for throwing stones
at train Of cars, two with assault
. and battery, one with petit larceny,
and one with assault with intent to
kill. Also, we find one person insane
and harmless, and not kept in close
confinement. The Jail is insufficient,
unhealthy and unsafe. It is poorly
ventilated, and must be so as long as
it remains in its present condition
: The facilities for passing tools into
the Jail from the outside are excellent
, and we hereby enter our protest
against it's being allowed to remain
:. longer in its present condition"
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES ARTHUR,
Foreman.
The Court commended the Grand
Jury for the large amount Of work
performed, and said the Statute would
be examined, and if the Statute so re.
:, quired, the proper order would be
made by the Court to carry out the
suggestions made in the report of the
Grand Jury. 1t twould perhaps require
an order Of Court to authorize the
' Commissioners to make the necessary
repairs.
