55. The plaintiff in any judgment or decree may issue exe-
cution thereon at any time within two months after the rendi-
tion of the same or after expiration of the stay which may be
entered thereon, unless the defendent shall supersede the same
as provided in the preceding section; but if the defendant
shall supersede as aforesaid within the two months, it shall
stay any execution previously issued and the sheriff shall not
proceed on such execution if the defendant shows him a certifi-
cate of the justice that the judgment has been superseded, the
defendant paying the cost of the execution.

56. The stay of execution on a supersedeas taken under the
preceding sections shall be computed from the date of 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 ensuing the said second term; and when the judg-
ment of a justice of the peace is superseded, the stay of execu-
tion shall be computed from the date of the judgment and not
from the date of the supersedeas.

in substance and meaning similar to said form.
