SHERIFF.
We started to check the Jail Rec
ord, which is the only book KEEP
by the sheriff, but were unable tC
secure all the commitments of the
Justices of the Peace with which
to make the check-about one-quar,
ter Of the commitments having beer
lost, or at least could not be found
during the audit.
1t. would have been possible, per
haps, to have checked the sheriff's
Jail record with the dockets of the
justices of the peace, but as this
would have involved large amount
of work and have taken a consider,
able length of time, We were directed
by your committee to examine the
Jail record for the purpose only OF
making report upon it's general con.
ditfon, so that the committee could
place the matter before the Board
of Supervisors for its decision as to
whether a thorough investigation
should be undertaken.
In pursuance of the instructions
of your committee, We have to re-
port on the sheriff's jail record as
follows:
1. In every instance we find that
the sheriffs, during the period of
this audit, charged a full days board
for the day prisoner was taken into
the Jail, and full days board for the
day he was discharged. No charges
for fractional parts of days were
made although it is possible that pris-
m MIGHT hnnY, fo1 en- 0 -
Jail in the evening after meal hours,
and discharged before or just after
breakfast in the morning.
In such cases the sheriff should
charge only that portion of the day
that the prisoner is in Jail, unless the
law or his contract entities him to
charge for full day in cases of parts
Of days. The record of portions of
days could be kept by entering, in
columns provided for the purpose in
the Jail record, the hour of admis-
sion of the prisoner and the hour of
his discharge.
e.. We also find that the jail rec
ord shows in many instances the date
Of admission of the prisoner to the
Jail one day ahead of the day on
shown in the commitment of the
Justices of the peace: On February
%, 1908, prisoner No. 81, David
Strain, is said by the commitment of
he justice of the peace to have been
1isorderly; on the Jail record he is
shown as having been arrested on
February 21st for this offence, or
,ne day prior to the day, according
o the commitment, on which the Of
ence was actually committed. Con-
the sheriff charged and

you can readily see that if you want
TO cure it you should cse Hyemei, which

as to the power of Hyomei To cure ca
