Hello Eileen!
You will find the court records in the archives of the häradsrätt (county court). In this case, Algutsboda parish straddles both Konga and Uppvidinge härader, so the records for the case in question could be found in either of the archives for these counties, depending on what part of the parish the murder took place in. I suspect, however, that you will find the records in Konga häradsrätt: have a look at page 300 in Algutsboda AI:17. The note on the right page regarding Frans G. Svensson (Flinta) says "Frans Flinta sentenced to death at Konga county court 8 january 1859 for manslaughter" This could very well be referring to the case you're researching, I mean, how many murders can there be in a rural parish during such a short period of time? Of course, it should still be confirmed using the original records, likely to be found in either Konga häradsrätts arkiv AIa:173 or Konga häradsrätts arkiv AIb:1 depending on whether this was dealt with during an ordinary (lagtima) or extraordinary (urtima) session of the court. These records have not been scanned yet, but Arkiv Digital and Riksarkivet offer scanning for a fee.
