Truly
Norton v. Wicker
Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of the court.
The appeal bond provided for by Code 1892, § 250, is conditioned to “pay all costs that may be adjudged” against the party taking the appeal. Appeals permitted by that section are returnable as other appeals from justices of the peace, and are dealt with in like manner. ITence, where the final disposition of the case is adverse to appellant, judgment for costs is properly “returned against the principal and his sureties j ointly.” Code 1892, § 85.
Affirmed.

- Bastardy. Appeal l>y woman. Code 1892, § 250. Judgment. ■ Where a woman, under Code 1892, § 250, authorizing her to do so, appeals to the circuit court from the judgment of a justice of the peace dismissing her complaint in bastardy proceedings, and the case is decided against her in the circuit court, judgment for costs is proper against her and the sureties on her appeal bond, although bail had been required of the defendant by the circuit court pending the suit.
