WE the Grand Jury of Clark County, for September Term 1314, on ou£ oaths present :—■ , * That from the representations of the Solicitor General to this Body we discover that there are certain offences winch are daily growing mere frequent, an<j which cannot be punished on account of certain acts of the Legislature which require that no bii] of indictment shall be preferred without the prosepitor’s name being signed thereto, and that the petit jury upon the trial of all bills may by their verdict mulct the prosecutor in costs here, or unless the-prosecutors arc persoti-tliy in jured, they will never By prosecu ting subject themselves to the pay ment of the cpsts Sc to an action for malicious prosecution afterwards. By these means all offences Which j are injurious to civilised society by j their immQralitv and bad example ! but?which do not operate to individu af 44? jury, escape punishments among 1 which arefhe following to he murder of slaves, the.mur der of bastard children, mis, af frays, retailing of spiritous liquors . vVithout- license, public m'emxcs, living in adultery and fornication and | many others. For these till state’s officer/.has generally persuade some person to be prosecutor, and, his prosecutions, are in many cases. Unsuccessful. The state’s officer further informs this body, that there atb few cases in which persons in dicted ever pretend to commence ac- j t^ons*for nalicious prosecutions/ and | these .are principally cases in wnich j the punishments are of an>infundus nature, such as larcenies, perjury St forgery ; in none others is malice e ver, alledgeff, .with very few excep tionsi We, therefore, rceommend our Representatives in the next Le gislature. to exert themselves in the application of such remedy as the ( evil admits of. We have also been informed that the following offences are not indictable by the laws of tnis state, viz. prof?he swearing,’ fcabhalh breaking, and gambling with ne groes : We earnestly recommend that proper exertions be ussd to .ob tain the passage of hi\v.s, for the pu nishment Os such offences. - , We deem it our duty particularly at this time, to notice the negli- 1 gence cfour Militia,Officers in their attention to tjra Patrole Law, and consider it a great grievance, - that in direct opposition to the positive in junctions of t|iat law, no patvoles are appointed, or if appointed, no ‘mea sures''.sire taken to cor p&l a perfor mance) of ‘ duty. /We are far fro m wishing to intertere with the bu sly ness of the Legislature, or to cen sure any law which may have been passed with a view to the general good,: but when experience. :.-she w* that that object is not obtained, The .sooner suchTlaw is repealed the bet ter. , We therefore recommend our Re<- I presentatiyes in the ensuing Legisla ? tnre, to obt&tivji modification of the Alleviating/ Act so us to make it ac cord better with its tpid* provided it cannot be entirely repealed ex cept so far as respects those/in their country’s service which Xw® deem, the better course. . / .
