Scope and Content

This series contains dockets kept by the Justice Court of Spring City. The dockets feature records regarding the background and proceedings for cases brought before the court. Cases heard by the court were both criminal and civil. Each entry in these volumes includes such information as the names of the plaintiff and defendant, the date of the initial complaint or violation, the charges brought against and any fines imposed upon the defendants , and a summary of the sentence passed in the case. In the later dockets most entries have been stamped "closed" or otherwise indicated to be transferred to the circuit court, dismissed, or voided. Some cases have a Uniform Citation & Information card attached which includes the address and signature of the defendant and information regarding summons to any assigned court dates. An alphabetical index is located at the front of each last two volumes. The earliest volume also includes records of marriages conducted by the justice of the peace.
