Terms Used In New Hampshire Revised Statutes 599:3
- Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
- Clerk of court: An officer appointed by the court to work with the chief judge in overseeing the court's administration, especially to assist in managing the flow of cases through the court and to maintain court records.
- Prosecute: To charge someone with a crime. A prosecutor tries a criminal case on behalf of the government.
If the appellant fails to enter his appeal within the time limited and prosecute his appeal, a record thereof shall be made, his recognizance shall be declared forfeited, and, within 10 days, the clerk of court shall transmit to the district or municipal court appealed from a certificate of such forfeiture.
