§ 5-9-142 — Stay of execution on judgment; bond

In a civil matter no execution on a judgment may be stayed
unless and until the party applying for the appeal, or someone
for him, gives bond in an amount and with sufficient surety
approved by the judge of the district court or the clerk of the
district court, to abide by such judgment as may be rendered on
appeal if such appeal is perfected, or if not so perfected, then
to satisfy the judgment of the circuit court. If such bond is
furnished by or on behalf of any party against whom the judgment
has been rendered for money or property or both, the bond shall
be conditioned for the performance and satisfaction of such
judgment or order as may be entered against such party on
appeal, and for the payment of all costs and damages which may
be awarded against him in the district court. If the appeal is
by a party against whom there is no recovery except for costs,
the bond shall be conditioned for the payment of such costs and
damages as may be awarded against him on the appeal.
