To the Hon, r. A. Whitney, Judg,
! of the Circuit Court:
We, the grand jurors, duly EN-
| l;ncllcd at the fall term of the Cir
suit Court of the Tenth Judicial Cir
cult of Polk county, Florida, desire to
| make this our general prescntment
We have cndcavorcd to discharg,
our duties with justice and impair
tiality and as rapidly as pOssibl"
with fairness to ourselves, and
Swing due consideration in each as
presented To us. We have made =
thorough examination into ever
case presented, and following yoa
,onors instructions, we have foun
an Indictment in each case Whcr
the evidence justified, and We fell
that the law had been broken, bu'
We have been delayed to a large cN-
tent by the non attendance of vi
Aesses, caused by the careless and
slIpshOd way in which the cOmml'
ting magistrates of the county hay"
performed their duties in cas-,
which they have bound the parte~
over to await the action Of this jur.
In a large number of cases; in fact
most all, they have failed to bind
the witnesses over to appear am
have failed to send the papers in
each case before the grand jury, and
in great many cases they hafo
failed to give the names of the Wit
lcSses, and this has caused lot OF
trouble, worry and expense, and un-
necessary delay.
We wish that your honor would
have the clerk to notify the justicas
OF the peace throughout the county
to follow the law, and bind over the
witnesses under suitable recogni-
zanee to each criminal case boun
over to the next grand jury to ap-
pear at such term to give their les
timony.
We would recommend that thn
Legislature pass law, requiri'
justices of the peace to appe -
fore the grand jury at each term
with their docket, together with a
list of all cases tried, their disposi-
ton, and the names of the witnesses
and that they be present at the frs,
day of the term. In this way tho
grand jury would be saved lot OF
trouble and worry, and also the
States attorney could get a bette!
insight into the case.
We find that there has been de.
crease in the homicides in our coun.
ty during the past twelve months t,
a remarkable degree.
