The act specified that \"every clerk of the court of each county and corporation shall keep a register of full and accurate descriptive lists of every person convicted in his own or any other court of record of his county or corporation, of felony or other infamous offence, and a duly certified and attested copy of any such descriptive list may be used as prima facie evidence of the facts therein stated in any question of identity. Such registers shall be kept written up, well indexed, and shall be open to public inspection at reasonable hours. The register shall follow a set form and each descriptive list shall be attested by said clerk.\"\n","In addition, \"the clerk of every court of record of each county or corporation, other than the county or corporation court, shall within ten days from the date of conviction of any person in his court of any offence mentioned in the first section of this act, deliver to the clerk of the county or corporation court, for record in said register, an attested descriptive list of the person so convicted, in the form hereinbefore prescribed.\" The judges of the respective courts are responsible for seeing that the provisions of the act are \"punctually and properly carried out\" by their respective clerks. The act was amended on 18 January 1871 and outlined the following: \"For the services mentioned in this or the first section of this act, the clerk shall be entitled to a fee of fifty cents, to be paid out of the state treasury.\" By and large, the county and circuit court clerks went about compiling these registers throughout the counties of Virginia as late as the 1960s.\n","Order books record all matters brought before the court when it was in session and may contain important information not found anywhere else. A wide variety of information is found in order books--including individuals convicted of felonies.\n","This original register was created by the County and Circuit Courts.\n","Additional Prince George Marriage Records can be found on microfilm at the Library of Virginia.
