10035,District Court (First District),Minute books,1851-1896.,Chronological.,"This series is made up of minute books which record the official acts and proceedings of court terms held in the first judicial district while sitting in county seats throughout the district. These records were created and maintained by the court clerk\, who was required by state statute to keep a minute book (Compiled Laws of Utah\, 1876\, sections 1062 and 1065). The minutes are a daily record of documents filed and actions taken with regard to every matter brought before each session of the court\, largely regarding documents submitted\, appearances before the court\, and orders issued. The minutes encompass both criminal and civil cases\, including probate matters such as estates\, guardianship\, and adoption. Suits to recover money owed to plaintiffs are a predominant type of civil action. Others include naturalization\, divorce\, voluntary withdrawal or dissolution of corporations\, and petitions for a writ of habeas corpus. Criminal matters may involve larceny\, trespass\, burglary\, robbery\,,assault\, battery\, rape\, prostitution\, sodomy\, gambling\, narcotics\, riot\, perjury\, or murder.",,Public,0.20 cubic foot 5 microfilm reels
