54. The stay of execution on a supersedeas taken under the
preceding sections, shall be computed from the date of the super-
sedeas, but where a judgment has been confessed in the circuit
court, at the second term thereof, with stay of execution till the
next term, the stay of execution by supersedeas on such judgment
shall be computed from the first Thursday of the term next en-
suing the said second term; and when the judgment of a justice
of the peace is superseded, the stay of execution shall be computed
from the date of the judgment and not from the date of the
supersedeas.
