Such transcription must be filed within the time and in the manner provided for the filing of the phonographic reporter's transcribed notes.

1247c. Upon suggestion to the appellate court wherein an appeal in a criminal case is pending, that a further transcription of the proceedings is necessary, if in the opinion of the court it is necessary to have a further transcription of the proceedings in the trial court, it may order the same to be transcribed by the phonographic reporter within a time fixed in the order; provided that no further transcription shall be ordered upon the suggestion of the appellant unless the application therefor was included in the original application made to the trial court. There shall thereupon be transcribed the portion so ordered, and copies filed with the clerk of the superior court in the same manner and with like force and effect as though included in the original order of the court; and like proceedings shall be had and taken as provided by law, as in case of the original. 1905-1085.

der, instruction, or thing whatsoever said or done at the trial or prior to or after judgment, which thing was said or done after objection made in and considered by the lower court, and which affected the substantial rights of the defendant.

1262. If a judgment against the defendant is reversed without ordering a new trial, the appellate court must, if he is in custody, direct him to be discharged therefrom; or if on bail, that his bail be exonerated; or if money was deposited instead of bail, that it be refunded to the defendant.

1263. If a judgment against the defendant is affirmed, the original judgment must be enforced.

1274. Bail when a matter of

1268. Admission to bail is the order of a competent court or magistrate that the defendant be discharged from actual custody upon bail.

1269. The taking of bail consists in the acceptance, by a competent court or magistrate, of the undertaking of sufficient bail for the appearance of the defendant, according to the terms of the undertaking, or that the bail will pay to the people of this state a specified sum.

1270. A defendant charged with an offense punishable with death cannot be admitted to bail, when proof of his guilt is evident or the presumption thereof great. The finding of an indictment does not add to the strength of the proof or the presumptions to be drawn therefrom.

1271. If the charge is for any other offense, he may be admitted to bail before conviction, as a matter of right.

1272. After conviction of an offense not punishable with death, a defendant who has appealed may be admitted to bail:

1. As a matter of right, when the appeal is from a judgment imposing fine only.

2. As a matter of right, when the appeal is from a judgment imposing imprisonment in cases of misdemeanor.

1909-591.

3. As a matter of discretion in all other cases. 1273. If the offense is bailable, the defendant may be admitted to bail before conviction:

First. For his appearance before the magistrate, on the examination of the charge, before being held to answer.

Second. To appear at the court to which the magistrate is required to return the depositions and statement, upon the defendant being held to answer after examination.

Third. After indictment, either before the bench-warrant is issued for his arrest, or upon any order of the court committing him, or enlarging the amount of bail, or upon his being surrendered by his bail to answer the indictment in the court in which it is found, or to which it may be transferred for trial.

And after conviction, and upon an appeal:

First. If the appeal is from a judgment imposing a fine only, on the undertaking of bail that he will pay the same, or such part of it as the appellate court may direct, if the judgment is affirmed or modified, or the appeal is dismissed.

Second. If judgment of imprisonment has been given, that he will surrender himself in execution of the judgment, upon its being affirmed or modified, or upon the appeal being dismissed, or that in case the judgment be reversed, and that the cause be remanded for a new trial, that he will appear in the court to which said cause may be remanded, and submit himself to the orders and process thereof. 1876-116.
