The grand jury was discharged on Satur-

To The Honorable, he Judges Of the Circuit
Court for Carroll County:
The Grand Jury, having completed the
business brought to its attention, every case
of which has been carefully investigated, re.
specially begs leave to submit its report and
asks to be discharged. During the period of
its sitting the Grand Jury have examined 80
cases, in SO of which indictments have been
found and II were dismissed. The examna-
ton of these cases necessitated the summon
ing and examining Of 81 witnesses, IA OF
whom were constables. In performing our
work we have kept in mind the Courts re-
commentator that we should save the county
the useless accumulation of costs arising from
abortive prosecutions, and have only present
ed such cases as We think would stand a
probable chance of conviction before petit
jury.
We further state that the Jail has bee visited
and its administration is to be generally COM
mended. The Grand Jury begs leave TO call
the attention of the County Commissioners
to the dangerous condition of the front porch
of the jail and recommend that some repairs
be made at once. In conclusion, it is very
proper as well as pleasant for the Grand Jury
to express its grateiulness to the States At
torneY for his frequent and valuable assist
anee during the deliberations of this body.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
j. OLIVER WADLow, Foreman.
