on any trial of charges, as specified in the preceding section, he may,
within thirty days after the rendering of such determination, take an

such appeal, the appellant shall cause a certified or stipulated copy of
said return to be printed and issued and all the rules and statutes
concerning the correction and service and use of a printed case on
appeal shall as far as appropriate be applicable to the correction,
service and use on appeal of said records.
