GAChAAENIp5 November 1857
To the Honorable, the Superior Court of the
county Of Sacramento: We, the Grand jury have
the honor to submit the following report in the
financial accounts Of the County Clerk T. H. Berkey
and in the first ulace do d, that in the matter OF
the slledged ulcatons TO the Stae, that in so far
as Mr.. Berkey is concerned, the State has claim
against him whatever. We would remark n this
connection that the channel Of adjustment beiug
an niire- one, it takes long time for the money
TO reach the state Treasury, Mr. Berkey having
hibited to several receipts for monies which he
paid over in the year 1879, and which have not
reached the State yet, we learn from the State
Controller.
Adverting to his accounts with the cornty we have
examined by competent, and properly commissioned
experts, all his books covering his present term and
not withstanding find during that time descrep.
ences in small items We believe them to be alto
gether due to Clerical Of omissions and addi-
tons and in no case eVineing intentional fraud Mr.
BeTkey will of course make full settlement with
the county before his official term expires. Re
spectfully submitted and signed,
