EDMONDS, J., Dissenting.
I do not join in the decision affirming the order appealed from for the reason that the record does not show the grounds upon which the appellant moved the trial court to grant a new trial. For almost fifty years the appellate courts have consistently followed the rule that an order denying a new trial cannot be reviewed unless the record upon appeal not only shows that such a motion was made but also the grounds upon which it was based. (People v. Johnston, 37 Cal.App.2d 606 [100 P.2d 307]; People v. McCoy, 71 Cal. 395 [12 P. 272].) This rule, in my opinion, requires a dismissal of the appeal.
