make examination in the matter oi
ty, beg leave to report as follows
We visited respectively the farms
towit Messrs. Swain & Weatherby

found on the place of Swain & Wealth
erby 81 convicts on the place of J
b. Williams, IS convicts, and on the
place of ]. E. Branton, IL convicts
total of 80 convicts. None of them
were sick.
We made due investigation and in
quiry into all matters and things ap-
pertaining to the welfare of these un.
fortunate people, and we found in
each and every instance that they
were humanely treated and provided
with wholesome food and well cared
for in the way of quarters for their
comfort, etc. They were all apparent
ly contented and in fair condition and
III no instance could we hear of any
complaint.
1t Is remarkable coincidence that
out OF the entire number given (8o)
convlcts, there were none on the sick
list. which we think. speaks well for
the care and treatment administered
to these unfortunates. The quarters
provided for their care and keeping
are comfortable and present far bet
ter appearance than many are blessed
with even in their own homes.
Respectfully submitted.

We have been in session eight days
and have examined I47 witnesses, and

been returned unto this honorable

appointed for that purpose, duly ex-
an1ined and same found correct. The

pressed themselves as being humane

We had brought to our notice that
many merchants throughout the
fcounty are doing, as it were, a wholer
sale business on Sundays, both in
liquor raffc and otherwise We en-
deavored to get proper and decisive
proof along this line to warrant lis
in finding indictments IN the matter,
but having much TO contend with
and lack of time, owing to other mat
ters of Importance before us, could
not at this sitting do so We make
public notice of this fact, however,
and would suggest that if the mag
istrates and constables would be on
the alert and look after these mat
ters and all other crimes in their
violators of the law could be brought
to the bar Of justice and dealt with
accordingly. And as some evidence
along this line may develop whereby
the next grand jury may be able to
procure tangible and certain evil
dence to work on, and which might
warrant them in finding true bills
against these offenders or violations
of the Sunday law, we respectfully
call their attention to the same.
We desire to give expression of
thanks to the Court and officers there
of for the courtesy extended, and as
sistance rendered us in the discharge
of our duties, and having completed
our labors, we ask that we be dis
