This paper aims to present some results derived from a research on 783 notification acts that are kept by Arquivo Histórico da Casa Setecentista, in Mariana, Minas Gerais. The data, referring to the period 1711-1888, were obtained through the adoption of variables established in an electronic form. Through the results already reached, it is possible to point out some hypotheses about the inner workings of Justice in the Mariana region.
