The grand jury's presentment, re-
ported 26 persons in jail, classified as
follows; I8 males and S females. Of the
latter 2 are insane and waiting remov-
al. having been reported; 2 are com-
mitted for street waiking and 8 as gag -
rants who are aged and totally unfit to
earn a living. 0f the males 3 are in-
sane and waiting removal, one Zander
sentence for attempted rape, one await-
ing trial. and 13 serving as vagrants,
of whom 8 are a•ad and helpless. The
jury recommended as follows:
1. We would recommend that the
insane be removed to the asylum as
speedily as possibly, as we are informed
the new asylum at Brockville is com-
pleted and will leave more room in that
of London and Hamilton.
2. That the two old women, in for
no cause but age and poverty, be 're-
moved to more comfortable quarters
upstairs, where we find two spacious
rooms unoccupied; we make this sug.
gestion for their protection; because
they. are at present associated with in-
sane women who are at times violent.
8. We strongly suggest that the
board of health of the town of Goderich
exercise more vigilance regarding the
sanitary condition of the premises of
'the gaol, as we find the sewage in the
yard emitting a most offensive eii7u-
via, which. in our, judgement, contains
and will disseminate the germs of con-
tageous disease. In .this connection
we suggest that a drain be made to
cofnect with the main sewer or the
ri ver,
We find the beds and cells in a fair-
ly gond condition and the floors' and
walls clean.
5, We were courteously received by
the gaoler, Mr Dickson, and the matron
his wife, and we are of the opinion they
are discharging their duties faithfully.

Magistrate at Clandeboyo, and again
before the Judge, William Elliott here,

robbery might be investigated first.
But owing to the failure to get a jury-

now when her eldest boys are reaching

to a year in (:antral Filson, and the
other awaiting trial for an equally astir•

her boy after being present in court

years in he penitentiary, and Samuel
Jackson was sentenced to three years,
After the sentence, however, and par-
ticularly when parting with the lad at

Judge Elliott asked the prisoner if
he had anything to say, but the youth
fastened his eyes on the floor and did
