thereon at any time within two months after the rendition of the same or
after expiration of the stay which may be entered thereon, unless the de-
fendant shall supersede the same as provided in the preceding section;
but if the defendant shall supersede as aforesaid within the two months,

61. The stay of execution on a supersedeas taken under the preced-
ing sections shall be computed from the date of the supersedeas, but where

supersedeas on such judgment shall be computed from the first Thursday
of the term next ensuing the said second term; and when the judgment of
a justice of the peace is superseded, the stay of execution shall be com-
puted from the date of the judgment and not from the date of the
supersedeas.
