Commonwealth v. McCarty

Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court

Decided October 15, 1859

Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court · decided 1859-10-15

Complaint to the police court of Springfield for an unlawful sale of intoxicating liquor.

Decided 1859-10-15

Dewey, J.

¶1In a case in which the hearing in the police court is had before the special justice, we have no doubt that he may certify the record of the case to the appellate court, assigning the reason therefor. We see no objection to a special justice certifying copies of the records generally, under the limitation that the standing justice is unable to discharge that duty, and stating the reason for his thus attesting the records. St. 1852, c. 94, § 29. • Exceptions overruled.
