The September term of the Circuit
Court for Garrett County convened
Monday morning with Judges Boyd
and Sloan on the bench. The term
promises to be long one. On the
trial docket there are ia cases, and
on the appeal 20.
Samuel Lawton, of Oakland, was
made foreman of the Grand Juagg,
and in his charge to this body Chief
Judge Boyd called especial attention
to the violation of the liquor laws so
far as the sale to minors was con-
cerned, and also as to the sale of Gig
arettes to minors.
Judge Boyd also called the atten-
tion of the jury to the dilapidated
condition of the court house and jail.
In speaking of the jail, he stated that
the commissioners were alone respon-
sible for the number of escapes made
by the prisoners from this Jail, in not
making the necessary improvements
or erecting a new building, such as
would be proof against escapes.
Furthermore, he said that the present
Jail was not fit for a human being to
be confined in, and he then suggested
that the grand jury appoint a com
mittee from their number and wait
on the county commissioners and tell
them in plain terms that q new jail
must be erected.
