place hire direftly tended to destroy the con fidence of justice, and the energy of the laws ; a>id that the several plans which have been formed to unite the different opinions, and to fix the attention to some spot which would promise permanency, and juftify the erection of the necefiary buildings, have hitherto been in vain. The stoppage of the bill for dividing the county, during the last General Assembly, as we conceive through the jealous fears for the political iutereft of the Hate on the one hand, and party diffentions among ourselves on the other, as also a late resolve of that Honorable Body, directing the courts to be held hete, have, in a great measure, increased the em barrassment of the county on this fubjett. The passing of so desirable a law, depend- ;ng in our opinion much on an impartial and ' * qnal division of the county, which is not o e obtained without the interpolition of pub ic authority; the Grand Jury have ceter nined to reconi uend that john Walton, Eiq. ounty Surveyor of Richmond, be leq died 10 proceed in his own perfoo, to prepaie as itccurate a draft of the cou ty as circum stances will admit, and the fame to certify and deposit in the Clerk’s office ol the county which draft shall be annexed r> a petition, to be made out by the Clerk, praying 3n equal and impartial divition of the county : And the petition ihall be offered to the acceptance qr rejettion of every v<ster, by the Shenff, at the day of the next general election. And the petition aforefaid, being ligned by the voters of the county, or so many hereot as fliall like the fame, to be lodged in the hands of rhe Representatives and Senator of the county; who are hereby lequired to exert theinfelves to obtain a d»viiiou coutormably to the said petition. We present as a grievance the want of a law to regulate and protect the tianlport3tion of produce and merchaiul.ze on the bavaninh river; great injuiies have already aiileu; and unless some checks, restraints and pen .1- ties, be provided by law, to regulate the con dutt of proprietors ot boats, and patrouns acting under them, much g.eater may be ex petted. We would advise that a lmail re venue be railed on tobacco flopped trotn the infpettions on Savant.ah rivei, to he appto priated to clearing and impioving the naviga tion cf the lame. On the information of Mr. Wereat, we present as a grievance, the illegality of de manding and Collecting the county levy, on the whole of a perfon’«.tax return; though the return repotts pt operty in every county in the Pate, which may be fubjett to the tax of iuch couny. We present as a grievance, the inattention of keeping out patroles; and do recommend that the Captains of Militia companies attend to the fame. We prelent J Larey and Vanhed deghem, in Augusta, for keeping disorderly boufes, and for trafficking with negroes. Wc piefeut as a grievance of the greateff magnitude, the vital ltab given to pnb.ic cre dit, by the refufal of audited certificates lor debts of every denomination due to the flare. It is the desire of the Grand jury that his Honor the judge’s Charge, toge her With these our recommendations and prelentments, be published in the Gazette, 'he Charge preced ing our answer to the fame- Ainbrofe Gordon, boittnan ; Henry Jones, Benjamin Grubbs, John Lamar, James M.
