The words " common jail" in the following paragraph might intimate some one different from that of " county jail. " In 1716 the Grand Jury " present the common jail as insufficient, and concur and agree with the County Grand Jury that the same be removed from the place it now stands upon ; and we do all concur with the County Grand Jury in laying a tax of one penny per pound, to be assessed and levied on the inhabitants — April 4th, 1716. " Two years after this the act for a big prison, on the ...corner of Third and High streets, was passed. In tlie year 1717 sundry persons offered large subscriptions for erecting a new prison at the new site. The Grand Jury present at this time (1717) the great need of a ducking stool, saying that, whereas it has been frequently and often presented by several former Grand Juries, the necessity of a ducking stool and house of correction for the just punishment of scolding drunken women, as well as divers other profligate and unruly per- sons, who are become a public nuisance, — they, therefore, earnestly pray the court it may no longer be delayed.
