Shorthand Notes. The only statutory provision for the taking of shorthand notes is in s. 16 of the Criminal Appeal Act, 1907 (see that title).Such notes of the evidence are usually made in important cases; but the costs of taking them will usually not be allowed, unless on an appeal they are used by the court [see Castner, etc., Co. v. Commercial Corporation, (1899) 1 Ch 803), and they can be so used on an appeal from a county court, even though not signed by the judge, Barber v. Burt, (1894) 2 QB 437. The costs of shorthand notes of the judgment of a court below are on appeal allowed without special order, Re De Falbe, (1901) 1 Ch 542....

Criminal Appeal Act, 1907 (English)
Criminal Appeal Act, 1907 (English) (7 Edw. 7, c. 23), came into force on the 19th April, 1908. For a great number of years the merits and demerits of criminal appeal have been discussed in this country.In 1844 Sir Fitzroy Kelly, in a remarkable speech in the House of Commons, advocated criminal appeal, the claim to which has also been recognized by Starkie, Sir John Holker, and Chief Baron Pollock; and even Blackstone,with whom, as Mr. Lecky has observed, admiration of our national jurisprudence was almost a foible, passed some severe criticisms on the stateof the criminal law of his day. In more recent times Lord James of Hereford (then Sir Henry James) introduced a criminal appeal bill into the House of Commons,which was supported by Lord Russell of Killowen (then Sir Charles Russell). And in 1889 Lord Fitzgerald, when introducing a measure into the House of Lords, said that the absene of any provision for rectifying errors andmistakes in criminal cases constituted a blot upon the c...
