We found five prisoners, one of whom, an idiot, has been con- flued there for I7 months, and we re- gret that the proper authorities have not sufficient room in the asylum, as we think the jail an unfit place for such. We flnd the windows much oil of repair, and would suggest chat they be toads perfectly tight, as the warden cannot tell from the noise whether a person is trying to get in or out. As soon as possible we would suit• gest the sewerage system be made com- plete. We regret that the county has made no provision for visiting the House of Refuge. All of which is respectfully submitted. W. J. DOWDING. o Foreman. Goderich, Grand Jury Room, Sep- teutber 22nd, 1897. Chiselhurst.

People often cause trouble to them- selves and the railway by trot famil- iarizing themselves with the railroad laws; for instance persons who bold return tickets imagine that tbev can start on the retur n journey and drop off itt intervening stations. They can- not legally do so; if they hold an ordin- ary full fare ticket for any distance over 50 miles, going one way, they can stop over as often as they wish, pro- vided they so inform the conductor. For instance, suppose a passenger held it ticket from here to Toronto they could start their journey and stop off at every intervening station, if they wanted to do so. But this cannot in any instance, be done on an excursion or return ticket.
