THE GRAND JURY PRESENTMENT.
The Jurors for our Lady the Queen
beg leave to present that they have
examined the jail and find the follow-
ing prisoners : At present we have
sixteen prisoners in jail -thirteen
males and three females. Of the
males four vagrants ; the youngest
is sixty-two and the oldest is eighty•
two years of age. All of them are
totally unfit to earn a living. They
ara all under sentence. 'Three are
insane and have all been reported
and are now waiting removal to the
asylum. One is charged with murder,
one with forgery, one with assault
with intent to rape, one with
larceny. These four are awaiting
trial, and one under sentence for in-
decent exposure. The three females
are all committed as vagrants -ages,
fifty-seven, seventy-three and eighty-
one.„. Oneaf them, Mary Brady, is
weak-minded and totally unfit to
take care of herself. She has no
friends as far as we know ; she is now
under sentence for six months, and
it makes the ninth time that she has
been committed to this jail, and this
work of re -committing will continue
not only with her but with several
others at present in jail until death
claims them, at least such is their
prospect at present. 'The other two
females are under sentence. i;
We examined every portion of the
jail and found same clean and in
good order. We also examined all
the prisoners as to their treatment by
the jailer and his assistants, and al -
were well satisfied with their treatl
mentand food provided for them.
We thank the Crown counsel, Mr.
Lount, and Mr. Lewis, the Crown
attorney, for their courteous assis-
tance and advice.
All of which is respectfully subs
mitted.
