The Grand Jury submitted the fol-

To the Honorable the Judges OF the
Circuit Court for Charles County.
We, the Members of the Grand Jury
for the November Term of Court, 1905,
respectfully submit the following report;
We have been in session six days,
have investigated eighteen cases, exam
ined forty-three witnesses, dismissed
five cases, and found thirteen true bills.
We had several cases before US for
violating the liquor law, but could only
get evidence in three cases sufficient to
present, and hope this will be warning
to all dealers that this law must be
strictly obeyed.
We have examined the Jail and found
it in as good condition as could be ex-
pected.
The Grand Jury recommends that the
County Commissioners put mating on
Court room floor and new shades for
windows in Court room, according to
request Of the Court.
We had evidence before us Of the I'M
safe condition of the road bed of the
Popes Creek branch of the p. B. h W.
r. R., running through this Comfy, in
that the ties are rotten, the spikes loose,
and the bed of road in need of ballast
ing. This complaint has been brought
to the attention Of the Grand Jury by a
number of resident citizens of this
County, who use and travel over the
road. We call the attention of the R.R.
officials to these defects and request in
the interest of the public they be RENE
died as speedily as possible. We ask
the Court to direct copy Of our report
to be sent to the President and counsel
of the Company.
We wish to extend to the States At
tornev nur thanks for the able assist
ance he has given the Grand Jury.
Having completed all the business be
fore us, we bog to be discharged.
BENNETT II. CARRICo, Foreman.
Court adjourned for the term.
