17 P. 10 | Ariz. | 1888
This was a suit by plaintiff upon the official bond of defendant Cook as treasurer of the county of Yavapai. It appears that he has been such treasurer for five successive terms of two years each. That at the expiration of the term ending December 31, 1884, he, as such treasurer, as required by law, (chapter 6, and amendment of October 4, 1867, Comp. Laws,) had and filed with the board of supervisors of Yavapai county, his regular quarterly and annual settlements. That in- such settlements he charged himself with the sum of $46,026.23, as being the balance in his hands as such treasurer. That such settlements were duly examined and approved by the said board of supervisors. That thereafter, during his last term of office, and at his first quarterly settlement as such treasurer, he charged himself with said balance as having actually come to his hands from himself as his predecessor, and continued afterwards from time to time, at each annual and quarterly settlement, to report the same in his hands, or using said balance in his first quarterly set
The judgment is affirmed.
