The clerk of the circuit court of the county shall make a full and general alphabetical index, after the method known as the Campbell System, in a book well bound for that purpose, of all judgments recovered in such court, which index shall be indexed in the name of each defendant in such judgments, and shall also show the plaintiff, the amount of the judgment, the date at which it was obtained, and from which it bears interest, the term of the court at which it was rendered, the number of the case on the term docket; and if the records of such court show that the same has been satisfied, made, or in any way discharged, the index shall set forth the fact, and the clerk shall be allowed the usual fees therefor, to be taxed to the plaintiff. Such clerk shall also keep an index of all judgments rendered by a justice of the peace, which shall be recorded in this office, and have become liens on real estate. (Mont. Co. Code 1965, § 7-21; 1888, Art. 16, § 60; 1912, ch. 790, § 123.)
