divulge such matters, and such viola
ton would be visited with serious con-
sequences. The reason for this neces-
sity for secrecy is apparent. 1t is not
easy to influence the action of the
grand jury If the people outside are
ignorant of what is going on in the
grand jury room, but 1t is quite certain
that, in case any of your acts should
be made public, attempts would be
| made to influence you. In case any
person should approach any of you for
the purpose of influencing your actions,
such conduct should be Immediately re-
ported to the court. Each witness and
all interpreters should be admonished
to keep inviolate what transpires in his
presence, in your counsels.
l trust that you will do your work
expeditiously as possible. as the Terri
tory is at large expense for your at
| tendance. There must be at least thir-
teen jurors present at your sitting. In
case any grand juror should be related
to any person charged with crime, or
| should have a direct personal or pecuni-
airy interest in said person, such juror
should take no part in the deliberations
on that matter.
| 1t is a matter of common knowledge
in this community, that there is gross
| immortality among members of the
police force of Wailuku. Conservators
| of the peace must not be permitted to
| live in open violation of the law. l
| charge you to especially investigate
| this matter and embody your findings
| and your recommendations in your re-
port.
| The obstructing of Market street in
| Wailuku is an increasing evil. There
| being no public market, peddlers and
| fish mongers causing offensive odors
I infest and sometimes block the street,
| causing great annoyance and danger to
| the public / ask you to give this mat
| ter your attention, and embody in your
report such suggestions as will at least
lessen if not entirely remove this null
sance.
Iappoint r. c. Searle foreman of this

The prosecuting attorney will wait
upon you and execute your commands,
and will see that you are provided with
suitable apartments in which to hold
your sessions.
