§ 91. Stenographers to furnish copies of proceedings. Upon any
examination, hearing or trial, where stenographic minutes of the
proceedings have been taken by an official stenographer of the court, or
by a stenographer employed for the purpose, such stenographer must upon
request furnish, with all reasonable diligence, to the defendant or his
attorney, or to the complainant or his attorney, or to a party in a
civil case arising out of the same state of facts or to his attorney, a
copy transcribed from his stenographic notes of such minutes, testimony,
proceedings, or part thereof, upon the examination, hearing or trial,
upon payment of the fees therefor by the person requiring such copy. If
such copy is required by the district attorney or the attorney general
or by a superior court when a defendant has been held for the action of
a grand jury pursuant to article one hundred eighty of the criminal
procedure law, a stenographer is entitled to his fees therefor, but he
must furnish the copy upon receiving a certificate of the sum to which
he is entitled, which shall be a city or state charge and must be paid
by the proper financial officer of the city or state upon such
certificate, like other city or state charges. In all cases of appeal
from an order or judgment made or rendered in the court, where a
transcript of the stenographer's minutes of the proceedings and
testimony given on the trial or hearing, becomes a necessary part of the
record on appeal, the stenographer is entitled to his fees therefor in
the same manner as provided in this section, which shall be paid or a
certificate therefor furnished by the appellant, as the case may be.
