COURT PRoCEEDINGs.-Th Grand Jury was
discharged on Monday, after a session of only
seven days. Their report to the court was as
follows:
To the Hon. James d. Waters,
Judge of the Circuit Court for Hartford Co.
The Grand Jury for the February term, 1894,
of the Circuit Court for Hartford County do
respectfully inform your Honor that they have
disposed OF all business presented for their
consideration.
During the session, which has comprised
seven days, they have examined 40 witnesses,
have found 13 true bills and disposed of 10
cases for the want OF proper proof.
We have visited the Jail and found confined
therein & prisoners, all males, awaiting trial
for larceny We found the jail as well kept
nearer a new Jail than twenty years ago, We
would suggest a new stairway, also new floor
ing and sleepers in the passage between the
upper cells.
We would also suggest that some other
means within the pale of law be devised to
dispose of petty larceny cases, especially when
committed by minors as first offences. The
present mode of trying such cases has ten
dency to leave the stain of criminal upon a
child before it arrives at the age OF discretion.
Thanking the Court and its officers for their
uniform courtesy and assistance in the dis
ask to be discharged.
