Grand Jury Report.
Just prior to the recess the grand
jury completed its work and after
making the following report to
the Court, was discharged
To the Honorable, the Judges of the
Circuit Court for Garrett County,
Maryland.
The grand jury for the December
Term of the Circuit Court for Garrett
county respectfully reports to the
Court that we have been in session
for the past three days and that dur
ing this time we have to the best of
our ability enquired into all viola
tions of the laws and have conscien-
tiously endeavored to perform all of
the duties required of US as grand
jurors.
We have had before US and have
examined 10 witnesses and have
found presentments and indictments
in all cases in which we delivered the
evidence justified.
We have looked over and examined
the records in the several county Of
fees and are pleased to be able to re-
port to the Court that they are kept
in neat and systematic manner, and
we commend those in charge for the
manner in which they conduct the af-
fairs of their several offices and for
their uniform courtesy extended to
the patrons thereof.
We are gratified to note the neat
and clean condition of the Court
House and the surrounding premises.
We regret to learn that in several
districts of the county there are
no magistrates or constables and we
feel, if possible, that these important
offices should be filled with capable
and trustworthy men. The absence of
. these officials in the outlying districts
certainly cause great inconvenience
and expense to the people living there
and probably a number of minor Of
tenders go unpunished or are not
tried by reason of the fact that these
important officers Of the law are not
! conveniently reached.
We feel that the good people living
in the districts where these conditions
prevail should take an active interest
in the matter and recommend to the
proper authorities the appointment OF
competent men il the districts wher-
ever the Offices are vacant.
We further feel that the consta-
bles in the several districts through
cut the county, and other field officers
should appreciate the Importance OF
their respective Offices and should be
active in the investigation and sup.
preston of crime and should prompt
iy apprehend all violators OF the
