People v. Wiltse

The defendant has appealed from a judgment of conviction for speeding on the New York State Thruway, after a trial in Justices’ Court [Court of Special Sessions] in the Town of Root [Florence Rocklin, J.], on the 10th day of January, 1959.

The defendant appealed from the judgment by filing an affidavit of errors.

The return on appeal filed by the Justice does not contain the minutes of the trial or a record of the evidence upon which the judgment is based. A Trial Judge is charged with a duty to keep proper minutes at the trial. (People v. Schenkel, 256 N. Y. 539.)
