*379T. Gr. Kavanagh, J.
(dissenting). If GCB 1963, 517,1 is of such value in civil practice as to be required without request, I cannot see why we should settle for less in the. administration of criminal justice.
It has never been suggested that the backlog clogging our civil dockets in some parts of the state can be attributed to this rule. I do not anticipate that it would add materially to our criminal backlog, and it surely would facilitate meaningful appellate review.
This rule should apply to both civil and criminal cases and should be vigorously applied.
I would remand for compliance with the rule.
T. M. Kavanagh, C. J., and Swainson, J., concurred with T. G. Kavanagh, J.
