This was the rs-t time since Sinicoe Co. was organized as a county that the presence of a Grand Jury was 11ot needed. Until recent years the Grand Jury were called even if there were no criminal` cases to be brought before them, as there were public in- stitutions -to be inspected, but now various bodies have control of these institutions and the Jury is not call- ed if there is no criminal business.

Crime is on the _de-I crease througho_ut the country, a Sign that the world is growing` better, the county jail proves this, as at `present Simcoe County jail has but four prisoners, according to the report before me, and but one is a criminal.
