Summary of Records
Scope and Content
This series contains a record of forfeitures or fines paid in the Justice of the Peace court in Bingham Canyon. The series was created in order to support the creation of the Justice of the Peace reports presented to the Bingham Canyon Town Council and to maintain a record of receipts from these sources. Entries show the name of the defendant, amounts paid, dates paid, and charge for which fined. Periodically, approximately at two week intervals, the amounts are totaled and followed with a certifying statement and the signature of the Justice of the Peace.
