The Grand Jury was discharged on

io.t:
I'd THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF THE
CIRCUIT COURT FOR PRINCE GEORGE
COUNTY.
We. the Grand Jurors of the county for
the October Term of your Court, respect
fully report to your Honors that we have
been in session II DAYS; that during that
time we have examined 80 witnesses: have
made AZ presentments and have found AZ
true bills.
A committee ofthis jury visited the Aims
House and their report is appended.
This Jury visited the Jail in a body and
found % prisoners confined there; the ii
side of said Jail was found in Il fair con-
dition, with the exception of some plaster
ing in the ceilings of the hallway, which we
recommend to be repaired; we recommend
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
be 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 rs, 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
rorney, the Sheriff and his Deputy; also by
the Clerk of the Circuit Court in promptly
issuing summons for witnesses required
before us.
We thank your Honors for the aid given
and the courtesy extended to u.s. and now
that the work before us has been finished
we respectfully ask to be discharged,
Very respectfully,
GEORGE w. BROOKE.
Foreman.
