The Grand Jury beg leave to submit
the following as their final present
ment for this term of Court:
lst: We have passed upon all bills

your Honor's attention to the prevail
ing tendency of the various Magis-
trates OF the county to send up cases to
this Court in which there is no evil
dence to convict and binding over
large plumbers Of witnesses who know
nothing against the sccused except
common rumor, thereby largely in
~creaSing the Court expenses to be paid

spectfully ask your Honor 20 order
that the same be brought before us

OF the county have not bee1 worked.
to which we respectfully Gill the at
tent'"n OF the county Supervisor and
Commissioners and urge upon them 70
push the work on roads as soon us Dos
siblc.
9Th: We would further recommend

time of the county chain gang to the
public roads of the county and that
the time worked be divided equally
between the various townships as near
as possible, and not to DO worked on
bridges.
18th: We recommend that the drain
age law be vigorously cnforced by the
proper officers.
Sth: We would recommend that the
