Report of the Grand Jury
at February Term, 1855.
Fi'O the honorable the Judges ofthe court
-L of quarter sessions of the peace in and
for the county of Columbia.
The undersigned Grand Inquest of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania inquiring
for the body of the county of Columbia, Re
spectfully Report.
. That they have pursuant to their required
duties calmly and deliberately, investigated
all bills of indictment presented foi their con
sideration at this term, and have passed up
on litem accordingly. They have also made
a thorough examination of the Court house,
.tail,and all other public buildings, and find
t.bern generally in good repair.
I It is within the knowledge of the Inquest
that the public road leading along Fishing
cr.iek above Orangeville is much injured and
obdructed by the creek at this present sen
se >l. But in our judgment, the difficulty will
be obviated whenever the bridge now in
contemplation shall be built over Fishing
creek a short distance above where the road
is mow injured by the water.
The violations of law in this community,
are not many, nor are the few crimes of a
high u.vl 'Jre. It is a cause of congratulation
that out l.tbors can be short, and. that no se
rious re,nroacbes atfsrli to our community.
Ttie cunc'it.'on of publiu morals we believe
to be aborut as good as the frailties of human
nature alius* to be expected—while the boun
ties of Prevalence and the blessings of free
institutions av'iU continue to fill our land.
All of wbioh is respectfully submitted this
