THE GRAND JURY.
Report of Its work-sketch of the Members.
To the Honorable Judges of the Circuit Court
for Carroll County;
The grand jury of the May term, 1891, re-
specially submit the following report:
BUSINESS TRANSACTED.
The grand jury was in session IL days, and
investigated &c cases, found IL indictments,
dismissed 10 cases and examined Ils wit
nesses, including II constables.
FAULTY SYSTEM.
The grand jury have conducted the investi.
CATIONS of the various cases before them as
rapidly as was consistent with proper regard
for justice and truth, but regret that under
the present system of procuring testimony for
the grand jury much expense IS incurred and
time lost in the examination OF witnesses
whose testimony is practically worthless.
CONDITION OF THE JAIL.
We find, upon inspection of the Jail, that
the sheriff is doing all in his power with the
facilities afforded him to safely secure the
seven prisoners now confined therein, and
that due regard is paid to the sanitary condi.
ton of the building and premises.
CONDITION OF THE AIMS HOUSE.
The foreman of the grand jury being in
ceding this term had appointed a committee
to examine the condition of the aims house
and its inmates, and that their report in sew
eral instances presented the sanitary condition
of several inmates and the premises occupied
thereby, especially in one instance, "6lthy in
the extreme he thereupon assumed the
responsibility of appointing u committee of
grand jurors to inquire into and report the
present condition of the same The commit.
tee report that they made thorough exami-
nation, and find the entire premises in a
clearly and excellent condition. They found
therein about 60 inmates, 40 males and 29
females. On the farm they found 46 acres OF
fine growing wheat, 25 acres of corn, = acres
of rye, 35 acres of grass, acres Of potatoes
and = acres of barley. The stock and farm
they cannot refrain from presenting to be in
an especially fine condition. Several of the
older jurors who have formerly been on a
similar committee say they never saw the
place in better or AS good condition, and
think it but just TO say that the present steward
is the fright man in the right place, and that
goodly portion of the sanitary condition OF
the house is due to the industry and good
management of his wife, the stewardess.
To the honorable Court and all its officers
we tender our sincere thanks for courtesies
and for prompt and valuable information ac-
fully submitted. We now beg leave to be
discharged. JOIN l.. LLOYD, Foreman.
