while in place of the old wooden rail,
against whose tottering support leaned
a%ttorne VS. and trembling culprits were
won't to tip their sschairs, a substantial
iron railing with swinging gates is now
to be seen. On the whole the old court
room looks 'as good as new" The
greater portion of the upper story of the
recently finished addition is to be- used as
a jury DON and has been neatly furnish
ed in readiness for the term of court
that begins tomorrow. After taking in
all the improvements up stairs, the re-
porter, in response to an invitation from
Jallor Welby, visited the Jail. Here
everything was in keeping with the
court room above. The clean, newly
whltewashed walls and the recently
painted ironwork, with we'll scrubbed
floors, gave the whole place a neat and
tidy appearance that Mr.. Welby may
we'll be proud of.
