Description

[3 N.Y.2d 545 Page 547] Defendant was convicted of assault in the third degree after a jury trial in the City Court of Buffalo. He commenced an
appeal to the Supreme Court, Erie County (see Buffalo City Court Act, Â§ 76, as amd. by L. 1951, ch. 653), by filing a notice
and affidavit of appeal with the clerk of the City Court and serving copies thereof upon the District Attorney. Thereafter,
defendant moved in the Supreme Court for an order requiring that a transcript of the minutes of the trial proceedings be made
available to him without charge, inasmuch as the estimated cost to the defendant of $450 would be prohibitive in light of
his financial circumstances. Affidavits submitted in his behalf averred that defendant was totally without funds. An accompanying
attorney's affidavit alleged that the conviction was contrary to the weight of evidence and that prejudicial errors had been
committed by the trial court.
