GENTLEMEN:-We, your committee,
upon examination Of the SherifTs resi-
dence and Jail of Walworth county.
located at Elkhorn, Wis, beg leave to
report
That we find the Jail to be in dimen-
sion 36x36 feet. The corridor, outside

M3x22 it,; 143 feet high constructed
of iron; corridor, inside of cage, 8 9-12
feet in width; said cage contain
ing six cells, 8-12x7 3-12 feet !;
also six cells in upper story, the same
dimensions ; also an attic, containing 2
rooms for female prisoners. The ar
engagements for locking prisoners is very
complete. We find the Sherif's resi-
dence very comfortable structure, AK
SO it., 2 stories and a basement, about
% feet high above basement. For want
of sufficient time your committee could
not fully enter into examination of de-
tails Of said building. From examine

HOUSE.

In the house on February Ath, Payson, of
Illinois, from the committee on public lands
reported the senate bill to quiet the titles of
settlers on the Des Moines river lands in
Iowa. He gave history of the case from
the time the grant of the land was made to
the state of Iowa, and stated that 10000
acres were involved in the bill. By mis-
construction of the granting act the state
sold certain lands to which it was not enti-
tied, and had granted certain other lands to
the Des Moines Railroad & Navigation COM
pany. This state of affairs had given rise to
much litigation, and the purpose of the bill
is simply to allow parties who have made
pre-emption and homestead filings on these
lands to have standing in the courts, and
have the question judicially determined as to
whether the land was public land. Passed.
