that the cutters and spouting be repaired.
and that surroundings of said Jail be kept
cleaner and especially in regard to the re-
fuse from said Jail; and we further find
that the jailyard fence is utterly insecure,
and we recommed that the boards of said
fence should be nailed from the inside,
and that several strands of barbed-Wlre
should be securely fastened above. After
investigating the escape of prisoners from
said Jail, we find some lOOseneSS in regard
to guarding the Jail has been manifest in
the past and we recommend that the Jail
authorities be required to exercise more
diligence IN the management OF SAID jail;
and we further recommend that prisoners
D.. not allowed outside of the cells, unless
in the custody of the Sheriff We also re-
commend that all ministers be shown due
courtesy when they call on the prisoners.
The bonded Constables of the different
districts in the county have appeared be-
fore us. and have made their reports.
In the discharge or our duties our work
has been facilitated by the prompt and
active aid, at all times, of the States At

We thank your Honors for the aid given
and the courtesy extended to us; and now
