I have had a number of defaulting contractors before the Surveyor of the King’s County, reported to his Grand Jury at the last Justices under this section, and in overy instance but one was awarded Summer Assizes, that there were 184 miles of road throwu out of con­ my expenses. In the exceptional case expenses, but not in full, were tract at that Assizes ulone, amongst which, 63 miles were of the most given to me.

COUNTY S URVEYOR’S REPORT. I have appointed a deputy-collector for the pier of Carlingford since last Assizes. The amount received up to the 5th of June was i.9 13s 5d; at the end of the year I shall be enabled to submit the statistics of the receipts and expenditure in full. To the GRAN D JURY of the County of Louth, Assembled at Summer oD sdi v Yinrt MAZO oT Assizes, 1857- As a tendency to add a few pence extra in the rates per perch for 3rd or 4th class roads has lately been shewn by some of the Cess payers. I Gentlemen, beg to state here that threepence per perch extra on 500 miles of roads will amount to £2,000 a-year on the County at large. An application for £340 to rebuild a bridge in Dunleer, in the Barony of Ferrard, appears on th« Schedule ; this application I am, Gentlemen, was certified at the last Assizes. The proposed work is necessary, and although one portion of it is on the Dundalk and Dunleer Turnpike Your obedient servant, road, in the course of being transferred to the County, a benefit will be J OHN NEVILLE. derived by executing the work at once. An application to make 64 perches of new road, near Stone House, in Ferrard Barony, appears on the book to be certified. The proposed road would effect a very neces­ sary improvementLouth neglected too long by those interested County in the district. Archives A new act to enable Grand Juries to present for works sanctioned at Road Sessions, but for which no proper contractor had been got at the adjourned Sessions, has just passed the legislature. As resolutions ap­ proving of the p rinciple of this act appear twice on your County books, it is unnecessary for me to point out its great advantages, enabling as it does, Grand Juries to beneficially control for the first time the contract system.

The Contractor for building a bridge in Dunleer has not yet com­ pleted his contract. The contractor for repairing the road between Bal­ lymakenny and Drogheda has so far neglected the conditions of his contract, that I must recommend a prosecution. The late turnpike road between Tullyescar and Drogheda has been also neg­ lected, but an effort was male by the contractor to put it in repair to­ wards the end of the season.
