5062,District Court (Fourth District),Minute books,1878-1896.,Chronological by court dates.,"This series is made up of minute books which record the official acts and proceedings of court terms held in three different judicial districts while sitting in Ogden\, Weber County\, Utah. Cases include those from Weber County as well as from Box Elder\, Cache\, Rich\, and Morgan counties. These records were created and maintained by the court clerk\, who was required by statute to keep a record of proceedings (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. Petitions for divorce are a predominant type of civil action. Others include naturalization\, 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. Unlawful cohabitation or polygamy cases were common in the 1880s.",,Public,7.00 cubic feet 6 microfilm reels
