Emile Rost, Judge

Oct. 17, 1887 - Monday

We have examined six criminal cases and report them as follows:
1. State vs. Achille Garner - Murder - a true bill
2. State vs. Ed Johnson - Murder - a true bill
3. State vs. Jake Banion - Murder - a true bill
4. State vs. Labinia Provensal - Murder - a true bill
5. State vs. Felix Smith - Rape - a true bill
6. State vs. Janus Nick - Murder - a true bill

We find the public buildings of the parish, the books and records
of the Sheriff's, Clerk's and Treasurer's offices in order. No complaints
against the treatment of the prisoner's in jail and the administration
of the Sheriff. The records of the Justice of the Peace are reasonably
well kept. The public records of the parish are in good order with the
exception of the second ward. The attention of the Syndic is called there.

We especially recommend that the Police Jury make the necessary appropriations
to build a wooden revetment or Jacine in front of the projected levee on the
batture fronting Hahnville, Home Place, and Fashion Plantation in the second
ward of the parish...the State Board of Engineers having expressed their
disposition to build said levee provided the parish builds said revetment.
This being a matter of pressing public necessity should receive the early
attention of our parish authorities.
