Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of driving without a valid license.As no report of proceedings is included in appellate record, and thus there is no way to determine whether evidence against Defendant was improperly admitted or otherwise invalid.Court had personal jurisdiction over De3fendant because he appeared in court after traffic ticket complaint was filed. Subject matter jurisdiction was conferred by Illinois Constitution as prosecution for driving without a valid license is a justiciable matter. (LYTTON, concurring; HOLDRIDGE, dissenting.)
