DISTRICT COURT (THIRD DISTRICT) [275]

TERRITORIAL CRIMINAL CASE FILES, 1882-1896.
9.5 cu. ft. and 16 microfilm reels

DESCRIPTION: Case files act as documentation that tracks criminal cases as they proceed through the court system and subsequently become the official files in reference to individual cases. The records usually contain the following information: case number, defendants name, filing date, charges, names of witnesses, and court actions taken. These records may also contain information about the counsel for defendant, names of jurors, verdicts, statements of witnesses, and judgments. Some case files may include these documents: petitions to the court, transcripts, warrants of execution and confinement, warrants of death, notices of appeal, complaints, orders to show cause, court orders to the jury or defendant, and trial evidence. Documents such as warrants, subpoenas, and affidavits may also be included.

The vast majority of the cases involving polygamy and related charges have been removed at some time in the past and are no longer a part of this series. The National Archives, Denver Branch, has these cases. The cases may have originated in any of the counties in the territory with the majority of the cases originating in the counties that made up the 3rd District: Salt Lake, Tooele, Summit, and Davis.

ARRANGEMENT: Numerical by case number.

RELATED RECORDS:Series 1649, TERRITORIAL MINUTE BOOKS, 1858-1896, contains information elaborating on the proceedings of these cases. Series 3834, CRIMINAL JUDGMENT DOCKET, 1890, lists other facts about a few of these cases. Series 22664, CRIMINAL REGISTERS OF ACTIONS, 1882-1896, functions as a chronological list of documents filed and fees paid which relate to these case files. Prior to 1882, civil and criminal case files were filed together as Series 9802, CASE FILES, 1851-1896. After statehood district court cases were separated by county; criminal cases from Salt Lake County are Series 1471, CRIMINAL CASE FILES, 1896-[ongoing]. Cases involving polygamy are held at the National Archives, Denver Branch, RECORD GROUP 21.

FINDING AIDS: This series is indexed by surname. The index is available both online and in hardcopy in the research center. Also available online is a research guide for judicial/court records.

CUSTODY HISTORY: This series was maintained for the court by the Salt Lake County Clerk and periodic transfers to the Archives began in 1961.

PROCESSING NOTE: In 1983 the court assigned a series retention of permanent, retain for 9 years before microfilming and destroying. This retention was modified in 1991 by the Clerk of the Court to film the territorial records and not destroy. This series was microfilmed in June of 1994 and processed by Gregory Lepore and Kenneth R. Williams in March of 1994.

GAPS IN THE SERIES: Random cases are missing throughout the series with a large gap from case number 1385 through 1399.
