His Honor Judge Crothcrs. in de-

called attention to the nature and scope
OF the oath the members had just taken
setting forth that they were required
thereby to take action upon all mat
tiers brought To- their attention, whe-
thcr by Court, States Attorney, or
officers. aud individuals. That the dut-
les OF the Grand Jury were inquistor
ial and called upon that body to insti-
tutc investigations where knowledge or
well grounded suspicious OF evil doing
obtained. Judge Crothcrs noted the
gratifying TACT that there was but little
so far as appeared, to require the
Grand Jury'S attention in criminal oil
fences. especially crimes OF violence.
lie cited the TACT that not resident oi
the county had been indicted ior crim-
nal utfcnSc by the last Grand Jury, but
two such indictments having been
found, both against non-rcsidcntS. lie
laid stress upon the duty OF the Grand
Jury not only to visit the Jail and Aims
House and Insane Asylum. but to give
these institutions careful examination
with the view OF seeing il some i'm
provcmcnt in the condition thereof
could be suggested. In the case OF the
two latter institutions, Judge Crothcrs
stated that the inmates were not Crimi-
mails, but unlOrtunatcS, and expressed
the opinion that everything that could
be done to tighten and brighten their
lot should be done, suggesting that
literature might be given them by
people who threw it away. His refer
cncc to the matter was with no intcn-
ton to criticiSc the management OF
these institutions for as matter OF
fact they are rcputcd to be the best
conducted in the State.
The licensing OF pool tables was also
brought to the Grand Jury's attention
He thought it was not generally known
that license was required, and that
those who were now running such
tables without licenses were probably
offenders through ignorance rather
than intent and that il any such were
found. His Honor expressed the Opin-
ion that at this time the ends OF Justice
would be SubScrvcd ii the names OF
offenders were given to the Clerk OF
the Court with instructions to notify
them to take out licenses. This. how
ever, was matter for the exercise Of
