In charging the grand jury as to its
duties Judge Boyd laid special stress
upon the condition of the county
buildings, especially the Jail in which
are now confined twenty prisoners
which was erected for the accCmmo-
datiCn of but eight. He also called
attention to the inadequacy of the
| court house fer present needs and the
continual danger of the records being
lost by fire or otherwise on account of
the insecure vaults provided for that
| purpose.
At the cell of the several dockets
tentres were made in meny cases.
Out of about sixty cases for trial
more than thirty were continued
some were settled upon terms filed
without going into trial, while Others
were tried before the court and in one
Instance a jury was empGneled.
