3939,Salt Lake County (Utah). Probate Court,Civil and criminal case minute books,i 1860-1887.,The volumes and their entries are recorded chronologically. The volumes are labeled alphabetically from B through E.,"These minutes record the daily proceedings of the probate court in civil and criminal matters\, but are not transcripts of court cases. Cases include naturalizations; divorces; and civil disputes\, most frequently over debts. Criminal cases include larceny\, burglary\, murder\, perjury\, assault\, riot\, embezzlement\, forgery\, pornography\, assisting prisoners to escape\, and operating without a license. Outside of probate cases (kept separate from the beginning)\, the probate court's jurisdiction was limited to only some divorce cases after 1874\, so after that date\, only divorce proceedings are recorded in these minutes. In 1887\, a federal act revoked the jurisdiction of the probate court in all but probate matters\, thereby bringing this series of,minute books to a close. Cases may span multiple dates. The names of plaintiff\, defendant\, jurors\, witnesses\, councilors\, and judge are noted. The charge or complaint; a statement that councilors presented their cases\, including names of witnesses testifying\, but not including the testimony; and details of the judgment are recorded as well.",,Public,6 microfilm reels
