A condemnation .
In its most extensive sense this word signifies the giving judgment against a defendant ,
whether criminal or civil .
In a more limited sense ,
it means ,
the judgment given against the criminal .
And in its most restricted sense it is a record of the summary proceedings upon any penal statute before one or more justices of the peace ,
or other persons duly authorized ,
in a case where the offender has been convicted and sentenced :
this last is usually termed a summary conviction .
2 .
As summary .
convictions have been introduced in derogation of the common law ,
and operate to the exclusion of trial by jury ,
the courts have required that the strict letter of the statute should be observed 1 Burr .
Rep .
613 and that the magistrates should have been guided by rules similar to those adopted by the common law ,
in criminal prosecution ,
and founded in natural justice ;
unless when the statute dispenses with the form of stating them .
3 .
The general rules in relation to convictions are ,
first ,
it must be under the hand and seal of the magistrate before whom it is taken ;
secondly ,
it must be in the present tense ,
but this ,
perhaps ,
ought to extend only to the judgment ;
thirdly ,
it must be certain ;
fourthly ,
although it is well to lay the offence to be contra pacem ,
this is not indispensable ;
fifthly ,
a conviction cannot be good in part and bad in part .
4 .
A conviction usually consists of six parts ;
first ,
the information ;
which should contain ,
1 .
The day when it was taken .
2 .
The place where it was taken .
3 .
The name of the informer .
4 .
The name and style of the justice or justices to whom it was given .
5 .
The name of the offender .
6 .
The time of committing the offence .
7 .
The place where the offence was committed .
8 .
An exact description of the offence .
5 .
Secondly ,
the summons .
6 .
Thirdly ,
the appearance or non -
appearance of the defendant .
7 .
Fourthly ,
his defence or confessions .
8 .
Fifthly ,
the evidence .
