GRAND JURY PRESENTMENT FaU Assizes 1896, County or Bruce The Grand Jurors of our Soverign Lady the Queen, present • - That we have carefolly -considered and disposed of the various cases brought before us in accordance with the instructions cOnveyed to us by your Lordship. .1 That we have examined the Jail and yards- thereof and found every- athetingry6.i woexoncenptionally dean and lade- d nine persons in Jail, one -- man for theft, one man and one wom- aanufeorinsanity and eix mt en for va ry. We find the Jail is largely used as a House of Refuge Or Poor House and - as a Hospital for the maintenance of persons whose only crinse is that of being aged and poor, or afflicted, so . that they are unable to earn -their own livelihood, and we eonsider it blame- worthy that such a large and populous County as 13ruce should permit such -a condition of -things to exist or -continue We find by looking up the latest compiled County Statistics that for the six years commencing with 1885 and continuing through 1890 the dif- ferent Municipalities of the County -- have paid out for the relief of indigents the total sum of $23,666.95 or a year- ly average of $3027.82. apart from the expenses incurred annually by the County in maintenance of same com- mitted to the County Jail and which we believe largely exceeds the cost which would be entailed were they , committed to a House cf Refuge. After viewing the 'existing circum- stances and considering the able ad- • dress of your Lordship on the samellre strongly recommend that the 0ounty Council in the near future take Steps - to construct a House of Refuge. Of the six men in Jail for Tasman, we find one of them an old man°, oval sixty years of age who should bein the Hospital or in the Homeoflimurables, he being afflicted with a -cancer in itit - advanced stages which is becoming abnoxious and which should not be tolerated in the Jail. We therefore recommend that the proper steps_ be taken fonhis removal at once. - We hags to _thank your Lordship for the clear and lad Charge at the open- ing of the Court which materially as- . sisted us in -the discharge of our ditties. - We should also say we have received valuable assistance and advice from_ the County Officers and from the Coma sel from the Crown, .
