DEpORT OF THE GRAND JURY
MAY TERN, 1885.

TO the Honorable James d. Waters,
Judge Of the Circuit Courtyror Hartford 20.
The Grand Jury beg leave to report that they
have been in session nine (9) days.
We have examined seventy-eight (78) witnesses
and have found sixteen true bills

roundings everything bearing evidence of the
care and labor that must INCREASINGLY be bestow-
ed upon it,
We found the inmates of the jail proper to be
in good health and comparatively happy, consid-
ering the circumstances and surroundings.
There were ten Q0 prisoners, and for the fol-
lowing offences:
One 0) was for the murder Of Thomas McAtee
Three (3 were held as witnesses in the case of
Donati Sorocca, for murder of Solomone Car
mine.
One was for attempted rape.
One was for being drunk and disorderly.
1t is the unanimous opinion of the Grand Jury
that a clock In the jury room during the sessions
of the Grand Jury would be great convenience,
as would some new chairs for their comfort in
ones now in use. And as this is the age of i'm
provement and art, we think the unsghtly locust
stumps in the front yard of the Jail should be re-
moved and that shade trees Of the kind that are
In the Court House yard be planted there.

officers connected with the Court for their courto-
sy and uniform kindness, and for their timely as
sstance in enabling us to inteligently discharge
