JOHN NJ. MURPHY,
Territorial Auditor, w. Il.
1t appears from this certificate that
Isaac Carson, then Sheriff of Pierce
county, presented bill to Judge Jacobs
for approval, in which the Territory
was charged over $500 for keeping Will
liam H. Collins, Lewis Howard and
William H. Thornton, and that Jacobs
allowed the bill. In this bill, it is said
that these men were convicted Of grand
larceny; that Jacobs knew better, will
be seen from his own opinion in the
case. On the Goth day of October,
1873, Carson presented another bill for
keeping these same men to Jacobs for
1915. This bill by some peculiar fnan-
cial trick, is against Kitsap county. The
following is the bill and Jacobs APP
proval of it:

This bill was presented to the Com
missioners of Kitsap county, but they
refused to allow it. On the 9Th day of
October, 1872, Carson presented the
same bill again to Judge Jacobs for ap-
proval. This time, the bill was made
little more reasonable, and Jacobs again
approved it, and his approval of this
