In conclusion the Grand Jury thank
Sour Honor for your clear exposition OF
tho law pertaining to their duties and the
Bills which were submitted to them; to the
Solicitor for having all his Bills ready and
by reason of which they were not delayed,
aud for other valuable aid; and to the
Clerk and Sheriff, and other officers Of the
court, for prompt and kiud attention.
Speaking entirely from nm impersonal
standpoint and without reference to their
own body, the Grand Jury desire to con-
gratulato the Board Of Jury Commissions
ers upon the class Of citizens who, for the
past few years, haye been drawn to aerve
on the petit jury; and they wish to expr. So
to those jurors their appreciation Of the
fact that they have not attempted to shirk
these high, important and onerous duties
but have served faithfully and uncomp1ain-
ingly. With pure judiciary and honest
and intelligent jurors, there can be no
misoarriage Of Justice.
Respectfully Submitted,
J. II. David, Foreman.
