I checked the Sac Co GenWeb site and found on the webpage:

that your W.B.C. Brown held the office of Controller in 1878. I then checked my California Blue book 1909 pg. 673 and found this:

"William B. C. Brown, Democrat, appointed by Governor Irwin Feb 7, 1876, and took office that day. At the next general election, on Nov. 7, 1876, D. M. Kenfield and Brown were voted for to fill the vacancy, and Kenfield received a majority of about 3,000. Governor Irwin declined to issue a commission to him upon the ground that no proclamation had been issued calling for the election of a Controller. Kenfield applied for a writ of mandate to compel the issuance of the commission, but his petition was dismissed by the Supreme Court at the April term, 1877. Brown died at Sacramento, April 12, 1882."

I hope this helps.
