Report of Justices of the Peace

FINES PAID
Nov. 1912 - Nov. 1913




Wayne County justices of the peace were required to turn in fines and forfeited bail monies to their respective town supervisors. Lists of this type are particularly useful for pinpointing whereabouts of transients as well as pointing out a specific event such as a melee. Most of the incidents better described were the type resulting from too long a night out or a misunderstanding getting out of hand. People were simply fined on the spot by the justice of the peace and sent home, or told to leave the county, no mention in the paper.

For further information about persons listed, it's adviseable to check through microfilms of old newspapers yourself at your personal leisure. Researching mention of fines and petty "crime" can take hours of time, requiring looking through all pages of a paper, and multiple dates, over a period of weeks, and possible public notice isn't necessarily placed under obvious headings.

As mentioned above, most of the incidents with low fines were probably not reported to the newspapers at all. This isn't a productive look-up request to post on a list, expecting a kindly stranger to read through hundreds of pages to do a look-up for you. Older Wayne County newspapers can be borrowed through interlibrary loan or you can hire a professional researcher who has access to the papers.
