We, the Grand Jurors, sworn,
chosen and selected for tfie first
\\'eek of the November Tei-nj, 1879,
of Houston Superior Court, make
the following general presentments;
By appropriate committees, we
.have examined the books and ac
counts of our county ojficers and
find them all kept with neatness
and correctness, with the fallowing
exceptions: Oat of the number of
Militia Districts of tbe county, only
seven Magistrates’ Dockets Tiave
been presented to us for onr in
spection, while the law requires
each official to present his Book at
each session of the Superior Court,
ypop pxamigatjog of §flch as has
been presented, we find that soma
are correctly kept while others are
deficient in itemizing their bills of
costs, paid and unpaid, as the
law directs.
We find in some portions of the
county tfiat land has been returned
to our Ta$ Eecgiyep bejqwr itsyalue
in quite a number of ipstanpeq and
we WPPhi most respectfully eqjopj
upon him a more close septfimy in
the future, in order fo ajaJje tjjegi
more uniform.
We find that the Judge of the
County Court has disposed of 97
criminal cases; ^265 common law;
23 motions and 29 claim cases from
Jan. 1st to this date.
Our County Treasurer has on
hand a balance of $2,442.84 in the
Tfeaspry, as per report submitted
to us.
We call the attention of . Trustees
of the Public Schools in the differ
ent Districts of the County to their
duty in assisting the School Com <
missioner in every way poggible,
which we are Sony to say has
not been done in tbe pac t.
The cogyaitlee on Public Build
ings gjafi Roads and Bridges, not
being able to fully discharge their
djity for jyant of time, that duty
was leff; £° til® next Grand Jury.
We call the attention of our conn
ty Commissioners to the dangerous
condition of Clark’s Bridge, also
a bridge or causeway across' a ditch
running tbrojigh ' Mrs. Harper’s
plantation on road from Byron to
Fort Valley.
We recommend ralings be placed
on tbe bridge over the mill race at
Thurmond's $fill. a 3 it is unsafe
without them, apd the road on the
South Bank of the creek at the
same plac.e is sadly in need of re
pairs.
In regard to the recent unlawful
execution of the confessed burglar
apd thief in the town of Fort Valley,
while it is impossible for us in our
limited time to investigate the mat*
top, yet we do feel called on fqpr
an egression of our opinion.
upon.
Although there a^e said to be>
and undoubt edly were many aggra
vating and outrageous features com
nectedwith the cijnj.es of the deceas
ed, yet we do onqualifiedly condemn
’t he violent and unlawful seizure and
execution of the same, and think-
that for the good of our common
country the matter should be inves
tigated and the whole machinery of
the law made use of, to suppress
such deeds. . m
We fix the per diem pay of grand
and traverse jurors and bailiff’s at
$2 for the year-1880.
