 "We, the grand jurors elected, impaneled,
 sworn and charged to inquire for the body of the southern division of the northern district of Alabama at this term of this
 court, beg to report as follows: "We have examined 137 cases and report ed into court 100 indictments and reported 37 ''no-bills.'
 "The character of the cases presented to us for examination was diversified and cov-
 cred great many different offenses, but the majority of these cases were for viola tons of the internal revenue laws. From our investigation we believe that the last above mentioned violations are on the de- crease in this division and district. "We visited In body the jail of Jeffer- son County, where the federal prisoners are confined, and from a thorough and carefu! examination of same, we find the jail well kept taking into consideration it's crowded condition We examined the food furnished the prisoners and found 1t sufficient Tn quantity, but in our opinion the bread so furnished could be improved upon, and we suggest that a better grade of meal De
 used.
 Having discharged our duty, we now beg
 to be discharged. w. R. HUNNICUTf, Foreman" LeWlS sullivan was aCQulltel ol Ile cHdi SO of retailing liquor without license. J. H. ! Phillips was found guilty of the same of fense and sentenced to three months inn
