Plain-English Summary
Section 25-1905 tells a party filing a petition in error to submit a transcript or a praecipe requesting one. Section 25-1906 tells the reader where that transcript comes from. Judges of judicial tribunals that have no clerk, and clerks of every court of record, must furnish an authenticated transcript of the proceedings, containing the judgment or final order of the court, once requested and paid the lawful fee for doing so.
The obligation is not limited to the parties directly involved in the case. The transcript must be furnished to either party to the case, or to any other person interested in procuring it, so long as the request is made and the appropriate fee is paid.
