TIIE Giand Jurors sworn, chosen and selected for the 2nd week of November Term, 1856, Spalding Superior Court, in closing the present service, beg leave to submit the following Presentments. Our predecessors of last week, having looked into the Condition of the Poor School Fund, we deem it un necessary to make further examination iuto that matter, and give our acquiescence to their report in that particular. We also acquiece in their re port in reference to the neat, faithful and correct manner in which the County Treasurer has kept his Books ; ; ml in their report of the statement of the funds in the hands of that Officer; We, how ever. most respectfully dicscfit fi'diil that portion of the Presell!iHeiitc Os Our predecessors in which they uilSt ill! implied censure upon the Collecting Officers on account of tneir reserving funds which Caine into their hands, and appropriating such lands, or a portion of them, to the payment of Uritfts in their own favor, in preference to others. We find on examining Cobb’s New Digest, on page 303; section 52st, the law to be as follows, viz : Be it enacted from and after the passage of this Act; that ollt of any moneys arising from fines im posed, inflicted; o? on forfeited recognizances in the Superior Courts of this State, or for violations of the penal laws thereof, the Attorney or Solicitor General bringing the money into Court,- shall be entitled to his insolvent list fob cost, flfst paid, then the Orders of former Solicitors to be paid ac cording to priority of claims ; and by reference to the penal laws, Sec; 416, we find the law allows the Sheriffs to reserve their proportionate amount in like manner; We itripiii.6 tit) improper motives to the members Os last week’s pannel, but presume they acted under a belief that the old law on this subject was still in force, and were not apprised of the existence Os the Statutes above referred to.— We take this notice of the matter solely for the purpose of setting our Officer's tight in reference to their action in this particular; add Os Vindicat ing them in that high position which they lidve al ways occupied in the discharge’ Os tlifeir public du ties. And we furthermore beg leave to dissent from the recommendation of our predecessors iri re gard to levying an extra tax for the purpose of building a Court House. For several years past, we have had a series of bad crops, which has occa sioned a great stringency in the monetory affairs of the country, and taking into consideration the present scarcity and high prices of provisions in our county, we deem it bad policy to increase the burdens of taxation at present, ludeed, we see no pressing necessity for such a course at this time. — The City Council of Griffin have kindly granted us the use of their Hall, in which to hold our Courts, and this is a much better room than many other counties have for this purpose ; and we re commend the Honorable Inferior Court to appro priate such small amounts out of the County funds as may be necessary to keep the Hall in good re pair, and comfortable condition, as they have here tofore done, and will no doubt continue to do, whenever necessary. We furthermore strenuously object to the plan “of drawing money by taxation from the pockets of the people of the county, to be loaned for years to the favorites of the County Of ficers. Such a plan ha3 been often tried in other counties, and has almost Uniformly resulted in dis aster and loss. The financial history of an adjoin ing county, speak.*, volumes in confirmation of our opinion on this subject: ( , , , • We have through a committee examined the public buildings, and find some repairs indispensi ble and necessary, and would recommend the pro per Officers to take such steps as will insure their immediate attention ; particularly Would W§ re commend the building of a Cook House cr Kitchen on the Jail Lot, for the use and benefit of the Jai lor, which we believe important to the preserva tion of the Jail. The roof of the Jail is in bad condition, and particularly that portion around the stove-pipe, which needs some repairs to prevent its leaking. There are other repairs on the ’ne cessary : the doors and windows should be made more secure. We particularly and specially call the im mediate attention of the proper Officers, to the very filthy condition of all of the prisoner's rooms of the Jafi, and to have them immediately cleansed and renovated. The roof of the present court room—particular ly that portion around the cupola, needs some re pairs. We hope the proper authorities of the county will attend to this matter. Through a committee we have examined in a summary manner the Books, &c., of the Clerk of the Superior Court, and find them neatly and cor rectly kept, and brought up to date in a manner highly creditable to that Officer. We also commend the manner in which the Books of the Inferior Court are kept by the pre sent Deputy Clerk. J Lis books are brought lip in a plain, neat and legible style. We regret being compelled to call public atten tion to the very bad condition of the public roads generally throughout the county —especially the road from Griffin to Pyron’s Bridge, on Flint Ri ver. We would earnestly call upon the proper au thorities to, have them put in good order without delay. In taking leave of his Honor, Judge Green, we cannot do so wiilrout returning him our thanks for his urbanity* andfaitbful and honest discharge of the onerous duties‘imposed upon him, during the present Term, and regret that bis valuable’ servi ces as Judgo of the Flint Circuit, vs so sobn to ! come to a close. Every thing considered, no ! man has left the Bench with more honor and credit to himself, and satisfaction to the people. He has our best wishes for his future prosperity and hap piness. To the Solicitor General, James R. Lyons, we return our thanks for his kindness to us, and the very prompt und energetic manner in which he prosecutes the duties of his Office. He is faithful and vigilant. We respectfully/request the publication of our Presentments in the American Union and Empire State. W J Jossey, Foreman.
