To the Hon. James Aldrich, presid-
ing Judge at the December term
of court for Williamsburg county:
The special committee of the
granGjury beg leave to file this their
report.
Together with expert appointed
by the court have examined the fol-
lowing offices:
First: The probate court, we find
the books all written up and neatly
kept. His cash book shows the sum
of eleven hundred and eighty-nine
dallars and ninety cents belonging
to several estates, and he has pro-
duced q certificate from Enterprise
Bank of Charleston, S. G., showing
that the amount is there on deposit.
The Judge of probate reports that
he finds the revised statutes of South
Carolina, book useful in the dis
charge of his duty, has not been
turned over to him by his predecss-
sor, and we therefore recommend
that ex-Judge of Probate Smith be
required forthwith to restore the
same to said Office.
Second: In the clerk of courts
Office the following books were ex-
amined:
Indexes, both cross and direct to
mortgages to real estate, to chattel
mortgages, lien book and conveyances
and alse other books required by law
to be kept by him, and found same
written up in a neat and orderly
manner. His cash book shows on
hand the sum of $252.70 belonging
to several estates, which fund is on
deposit and he produced a certificate
from reliable bank in Charleston
showing the same.
Third: We carefully looked into
the various books of the sheriff's ef-
flee and with the exception of the
tax execution book, the rest were
kept as by law required.
Fourth: In the school commits
sioner's Office, owing to the multi
plicity of business just at this time
of this time Of the year, the school
commissioner reported to us that he
was somewhat behind with his
entries, but at the present writing of
the report all of his business trans
action have been entered and the
books brought up to date.
Fifth: We examined the books,
accounts and vouchers of the super
yisors' Office and found same correct
and said office kept in a neat and
orderly condition.
Sixth: Some time and careful at
tention was given the treasurer's Of
fee; this officer handling the funds
of the county and being the collect
ing and distributing medium of the
county officers, and after investiga-
ton, we find everything in good
order; collections as shown by his
books properly entered and account.
for, and all moneys paid out proper =
ly vouched.
Owing to the ill health OF the
auditor, when the special committee
met. and even at this term of the
