Report Of the Grand Jury.
To the Honorable The Judges Of the Circuit
Court for Charles county.
The grand jurors for the November Term
eighteen hundred and eighty-nine, have the
honor to report that they have been in session
six days, have investigated thirteen cases, ex-
amined tbirty-eight witnesses, found seven
presentments, aud Endorsed as true bills seven
indictments.
We also have the honor to report that we
have visited the county Jail according TO law
and found tie same to be in fair condition,
both as TO security and comfort Of prisoners.
Much of the time of the session has been de-
voted to the investigation of the recent burn
ing Of the store house Of Messrs. Brawner aud
Barnes, resulting in the conclusion that the
said fire was Of incendary origin, although
we have not been able to ascertain the perpe-
traitors. We therefore respectfully recommend
that the investigation ofsaid case be continued.
Having disposed of all the business brought
before US ard knowing of nothing yet to come
we now have the honor respectfully to beg to
be discharged.
