Clause 47

Within ten days after service of the notice referred to in subsection (2) of section 46 of this Act the appellant shall file with the Registrar a petition of appeal and five copies thereof addressed to the Court of Criminal Appeal.

Every petition of appeal shall be signed by the appellant or his advocate and solicitor and shall contain particulars of the matters of law or of fact in regard to which the trial Court is alleged to have erred, and, except by leave of the Court of Criminal Appeal, the appellant shall not be permitted on the hearing of the appeal, to rely on any ground of appeal other than those set forth in the petition.

If a petition is not filed within the time prescribed by this section the appeal shall be deemed to have been withdrawn, but nothing in this subsection shall be deemed to limit or restrict the powers of extending time conferred upon the Court of Criminal Appeal by section 50 of this Act.
