One of the authors has shown the ergodicity of the perturbed billiard system which can describe the motion of a particle in a potential field of a special type [5], [6]. Since then, some development has been made, and we are now able to show the Bernoulli property of the system in this article. We hope, the result gives a new progress in statistical mechanics. Our method of the proof is inspired by the idea of D. S. Ornstein and B. Weiss [9], which has been used by G. Gallavotti and D. S. Ornstein [3] for a Sinai billiard system.
