We have examined the Jail and
find it clean and the prisoners well
cared for, and would recommend that

some plan to have better drainage

have the wall around the Jail yard
repaired, which would be a great
protection to it.

has been reported from the town of
Port Deposit, 7th district, and it be-
ing also claimed that there exists
between the two magistrates and the
bailff of said town a bad feelina and
