JUSTICE HENLEY
Receives Undeserved Censure, and Shows
Such to be the Case.
Yesterday Justice William Henley re-
ceived the following letter from Mayor

Brown:
SACRAMENTO, March Is. 1886
hWtGm Henley, >. p, city Of Sacramento: Hav-
ing received written communication from E.
ii. Mckee, City Auditor. that you have failed to
report the amount OF fees collected since the
1st of February, 1856, you are hereby notified to
appear before the Board of trustees of the city
OF sacramento at 10 4. NJ. on Monday March %
1856, and show cause why action under the law
regulating such matters should not be enforced
JOHN Q. Brown,
President Board of City Trustees
Immediately upon the receipt of the
above Justice Henley invited Auditor Nc
kee to his office and presented him with a
copy of the following receipt, convincing
Mr.. Mckee that he had been in error, and
that the Justice had made his report in &C
cordance with law:
SACRAMENTO, March l, 1886.
Received of William Henley, Justice OF the
Peace of the city of Sacramento, Sc % being
Justices fees for the month ending Februry 2S
1886. J. n. PORTER. City Treasurer
By Gerber, Deputy.
The Justice then wrote communication
to the Board of Trustees, stating The fact
of his having reported strictly in con-
formity with the code. Section 103 of the
Code of Civil Procedure which provides
relative to Justices reports, reads as fol-
lows: ''All fees which are by law charge
able for services rendered by such Justices
of the Peace in the cities aforesaid shall
be by them respectively collected, and on
the first Monday in each month every such
Justice of the Peace shall make report.
under oath, to tina City Treasurer, of the
amount of fees so by him collected, and
pay the amount so reported into the city
treasury, TO the credit of the general fund
thereof" Justice Henley states that it has
been his custom to obtain two receipts
from the Treasurer each month, in order
to present one to the City Auditor not be-
cause the law called upon him to do So but
as matter of accommodation TO that Off
cial, and TO save him the trouble of COM
municating with the Treasurer TO gain the
information. This month, through negli-
gence and forgetfulness, he did not give the
Auditor the receipt as usual, and his failure
| to do so led the Auditor to believe he had
not made his monthly report.

INVESTMENTS IN REAL EsTATE.-From
the activity manifested in real estate pur-
chasing in this vicinity, it appears that the
majority of people believe land about Sac
ramento is very desirable thing to be
possessed of. Two valuable farms, of
which ownership has recently been trans
ferred, are the Lowell ranch, about three
and half miles from town on the upper
Stockton road, purchased by Judge s. c.
benson, and the Tryon farm, opposite the
County Hospital, containing about $50
acres, purchased by NJ. J. Dillman.
