Report OF the Grand Jury,

The grand jury which adjourned yes
terday, made the following report TO the
Court:
We, the members of the grand jury,
would respectfully report that we have
been in session nine days. during which
time we have examined 1s9 witnesses
and have made 42 presentments and the
same number of true bills. Many of the
witnesses that have come before us were
of no practical use. and we would sug-
gest that magistrates be more careful,
and thereby save the county considerable
expense. Two cases were brought to our
notice-one from the first and the other
from the eighth distriet--in which no
evidence was brought to our notice, (all
witnesses being examined) of guilt in
either case-one of the parties accused
having been in jail for several months.
We would recommend that in future
magistrates would be more careful in
sending cases before the grand jury.
During our sessions committees were
appointed to examine the treasurer's
books, almshouse. jail and public build
ings-all Of which reports are respectful
" submitted; but we desire to call your
attention especially to the following re-
commentators contained in the above
reports: The committee on treasurer's
books, suggest that the County Commits
sioners employ an expert once year

the treasurer's books, as an examination
by committee of grand jury, can only be,
for. want of time, matter of form. BY
this recommendation the committee do
not by any means reflect upon the pres
treasurer.
The committee of the Almshouse desire
to call the attention of the Court to the
present condition of the col0red quarters
and recommend that the sexes be not al
lowed to mingle together - they are now
doing.
The committee on@jail report that the
spouting i greatly out Of repairs, and
consequently the basement Of the build
ing is constantly damp, which is r0uin-
Gus to the entire building - wen q the
health Of inmates. The attention Of the
Court Is also particularly called to the
committee on public buildings
Having completed the work assigned
u by Court, we respectfully ask to be
