Jurors Died During the Year.
When the grand Jury came into court
last evening, having completed its work,
1t presented, through Sewell G. Blggs,
It's foreman, the following report and
suggestions:
On Wednesday, the Goth Of November,
1898, the grand inquest made visit Of
inspection TO the County Court House.
We are gratihed to report that we
found everything in good condition The
halls and various departments were clean
and comfortable. The appearance of
things generally indicated the super
vision Of careful, thoughtful and
painsiaking superintendent. The grand
inquest also visited the county Jail on
December z, 1893. We were very kindly
and courteously received by the sheriff,
who Immediately proceeded to conduct
us through this jail. We found II In
most excellent condition considering the
insuiiiclency of room IL was clean and
as comfortable as the crowded con-
dition OF the Jail will permit. We
were received In the sheriffs private
departments by Mr.. Gould aud most
heartily welcomed. The department
presented the appearance Of a careful
aud well-kept house. everything In per-
feet order. We take pleasure In unani-
mously congratulating the people of
New Castle county upon having such a
capable and careful sheriff
Employment tor Prisoners.
The grand inquest was deeply impressed
with the. urgent necessity Of providing
some employment for the large number
Of able bodied persons that were spend
lug their time in idleness at the expense
Of the taxpayers of the county. and would
earnestly recommend that the Levy Court
OF New Castle county at once proceed to
carry into effect the provisions OF what is
known as the Cooch law, passed at the
last Legislature
BY the purchase Of land suitable for a
stone quarry, along some OF the lines Of
railroads al accent 10 this city, and the
fitting up with suitable buildings and
enclosures Of the same, also of the pur-
chase Of q steam crusher and such other
machinery that may be necessary for pur.
poses Of quarrylng and crushing stone
for the Improvement Of the roads Of this
county, and that the attorney prepare
such additional legislation as may be
necessary 90 be presented to the next
Legislature) to carry the same into effect
so that all prisoners sentenced to any
term under one year may be sent to the
said workhouse at the discretion Of the
court, aud by that means relieve the
CROW ded condition of the jail at New
Castle and earn something toward their
mnini enance.
Aud we further recommend that the
attorney-general prepare such leglsla-
iion and present Il to 1.-THE next Legisla-
ture for It's consideration as may be
necessary to secure the conviction OF the
persons who receive stolen goods. as we
believe that the receiver Is as bad rs the
, thief, and II Il were- not for the ready
means of disposing Of stolen property
that there would be a great deal less Of
petty larceny.
