District Court (Fourth District : Utah County) Criminal registers of action, 1896-

This series contains books used to record actions taken by the court and the associated documents filed in each criminal case.

The register of actions may contain such information for each case as name of the attorney for the defendant, name of the judge presiding over the case, petitions, complaints, summons, answers to summons, orders from the court, assignment of judges, exhibits, judgment, findings and conclusions, costs, decrees, requests by attorneys for instructions to the jury, verdict, motions for cross complaints or new trials, amendments to previous answers, disclaimers, bonds, and inventories. Each book in the series contains its own name index to facilitate access to the record.
