Scope and Content
This series documents the individual criminal cases tried by the Third District Court. Actions taken in each case are recorded on separate documents and then filed together to become the case file. As these documents enter the case file they are recorded in the Criminal Registers of Actions. Registers of Actions thus function as a chronological list of the actions taken in each criminal case.
A register of actions normally contains the following: party names, defendant's attorney's name, criminal charge, and a listing of actions. Actions recorded may include the filing of: transcripts on appeal from a lower court, indictment, charges, arraignment, plea, warrants, bail bonds, attorney's motions, court orders, subpoena, verdict, and sentence.
Gaps in Series
Cases 25701-26300 are missing.
Research Note
Case number ranges, as they appeared in the original book format, were maintained in the container list through the first 6 reels to assist the patron in locating the pre-1916 indexes at the beginnings of volumes. Some overlaps in dates occur due to the irregularity of filing dates.
