The main recommendations of
the Grand Jury were that the
stockades at the county home
were not sufficient to accomo-

enlarged. The present Jail should
be enlarged so that prisoners

BROOKS MATTER SETTLED.
The matter of sci ia cases,
about which so much has beer
said in recent weeks, was settled

1t may be permissible to sa,

were excessive. He makes out
that part of the case. Solicitor

He made out his case. So far as
We have heard, nobody ever
maintained that his admilistra-

through the paper everybody un-
dsrstood. They were political
C larges which every 10 itit IN

Whether that zeal has under
