The Jury made the following re-
port:
1.-THE varied and highly important
duties assigned to us as body, by
the laws of the State, have been in
vestigated to the best of our ability,
and we are much gratified to have it
in our power to state that thus far
no case of high crime or misdemean-
or has come to our knowledge, and
that the few cases upon which we
have been called to act are of light
character. No complaint has been
offered against any of the many over
seers of our roads, and we are there
fore induced to believe that the pub
lie highways of our parish are in
good condition. On the subject of
our Parish Jail, we are pleased to re-
mark, after a careful investigation of
it, we are satisfied that it is fully suf-
ficent for all ordinary purposes for
which it was constructed, and we
regret to state that the same cannot
be said of the other public buildings,
and particularly that of our Court
House; it's dilapidated condition, the
want of almost every article neces-
sary for the Honorable Court and its
officers, render it unfit for the high
and important purpose for which it
was designed. We are pleased to
say, however, that the present Hon
orable Police Jury has had the mat
ter under consideration, and that Q
committee of said body are instruct
ed and empowered to make such i'm
provement and fixtures as will here
after render it more comfortable fol
the purpose it was intended"
