CROWDED AND DANGEROUS.
TO he LC1Y Court Of New Castle County:
We the undersigned members of the jury
which was empaneled try the case of the
State VS.. Michael Faino, respectfully repre-
sent that the health of the men of this
county who are summoned to serve the
people in the capacity of jurymen should
be carefully and jealousy cared for while
those men are in the performance Of their
duty. and that so far as possible comforts
equal to the comforts of the homes from
which they are summoned should be fur
nished them.
We further represent that during our
confinement while the Faino case was
being tried, we suffered severely in the
night from the inadequate and improper
supply of beds and bedding, and especially
from the lack OF proper means of ventila-
tion of the room in which we were COM
PEELED to attempt to sleep.
We petition your honorable body that
the defects, and dangers which we have
described be removed and remedied in
order that luries hereafter to be summoned
may not be compelled to suffer the same
dlscomforts and dangers which we suffered.
