That no execution upon any judgment or decree in any county
court, or other inferior court, or in the court of chancery, shall
be stayed or delayed, unless the person or persons against whom
such judgment or decree shall be rendered or passed, his, her or
their heirs, executors or administrators, or some other person or

praying an appeal from any such judgment or decree, or issuing
out a writ of error upon any such judgment, enter into bond,
with sufficient sureties, in at least double the sum recovered by
such judgment or decree, or in double the value of the matter
or thing in controversy, which shall have been recovered or de-
creed, if a moveable chattel or chattels, to be estimated by the
court from whose judgment or depree the said appeal shall be
made, or writ of error directed, with condition as follows, or to
the following effect : 'That if the said party appellant, or party
suing out such writ of error, shall not cause a transcript of the
record and proceedings of the said judgment or decree, to be
transmitted to the court of appeals to be holden for the western,
or eastern shore, as the case may be, within the time required
by law, and prosecute the said appeal or writ of error with effect,
and also satisfy and pay to the said party, in whose favour such
judgment or decree was rendered or passed, his, her or their ex-
ecutors, administrators or assigns, in case the said judgment or
decree shall be affirmed, as well the debt, damages and costs, or
the damages or sum of money, or matter or thing and costs, ad-
judged or recovered in the county court, or other inferior court,
or court of chancery, as the case may be, as also all damages
and costs that may be awarded by the court of appeals ; then
the said bond to be and remain in full force and virtue, other-
wise of no effect.'
