PRESENT TIME. Several changes have been made since the organization of Scott county in its courts and the title of the office under which the county's business affairs have been conducted.  The first officials were designated as commissioners, who transacted the business for the county until 1851, when the office of commissioner was abolished and the affairs of the office transferred to the Probate court.  This court was superseded in 1861 by the County court and that branch of government ceased to exist in January, 1869.
