may render a judgment under said sections, either to pay a
fine or of condemnation of property, may, at any time within
ten days from the rendition of such judgment, appeal there-
from to the Circuit Court for the county wherein the same may
have been rendered; but no execution or sale shall be stayed,
unless the party appealing shall give bond, with two sufficient
securities, to be approved of by the justice, to the State of

of the fine imposed, as the case may be, with condition to
prosecute such appeal with effect to the Circuit Court at its
next session thereafter, and to pay the value of the property
condemned, and fine imposed, and all costs attending such pro-

said Sections 498 to 522, inclusive, he shall be deemed guilty

such violation, and the same may be recovered by action of
debt, in the name of the State, before a justice of the peace of
either Harford, Cecil, or Kent County, or by indictment in
the Circuit Court for either of said counties; and when any
person is convicted of the violation of any of the provisions
of said sections, and refuses or neglects to pay the fine for
which, judgment is given against him, he shall be committed
