was tried. The justice, Burgess or assistant Burgess may hold
any person charged with violating an ordinance to bail, with
approved security, for his appearance for trial at a date not
exceeding thirty days from the date of the recognizance when-
ever, in his judgment, the ends of justice require such delay;
or in the failure to receive such security for trial, the officer
shall commit the person to jail for his said appearance, and the
sheriff shall receive and keep the said prisoner as provided for
in section 20; and whenever the said prisoner is convicted of
the charge for which he was so held for trial, he shall pay all
the costs attending his commitment and detention for trial,
said costs to be included in those of the judgment rendered
against him. All appeal bonds shall be conditioned that if the
appellant shall not prosecute his appeal with effect at the next
term of the Circuit Court for Washington County, and also
pay and satisfy said judgment in case it shall be affirmed, as
well as the debt and costs adjudged therein, as also the costs
awarded by the Circuit Court, then said bond to be and remain
in full force and virtue, otherwise to be of non-effect. No
appeal shall be entertained or heard by said court unless such
bond be tiled with the clerk of the court.
