AGENCY: District Court (First District : Cache County)

SERIES: 26014
TITLE: Criminal registers of actions
DATES: 1895-1988.
ARRANGEMENT: Numerical by case number.

DESCRIPTION: Traditionally district courts, including First District Court (Cache County), created a register of actions for each criminal case heard by the court. The register commenced when the accusation was filed, and thereafter the court listed each action until the case was dismissed or resolved with a conviction or acquittal. For each case the court clerk identified the defendant, the crime of which he was accused, a court assigned case number, and the names of representing attorneys. For each action the clerk listed the type of action taken and the date on which that action was taken. Registers of action are case summaries which provide reference to additional records. Court assigned case numbers listed in the registers are a guide to case files which contain all of the important documents related to the case. Dates in the register provide reference to minute book entries.
