In re the Estate of Witmark
Opinion of the Court
—The undertaking, filed by the appellant, was intended, no doubt, to be an undertaking such as is required by section 2578 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The undertaking mentioned in this section, does not stay the execution of a decree appealed from, unless the appeal has been perfected by the giving of the undertaking specified in section 2577. To render a notice of appeal effectual for any purpose, it is necessary to furnish this last mentioned undertaking. Matter of Burgess Cluff, Daily Reg., Feb. 4, ’87.
Should he avail himself of this exercise of discretion, the effect will be a stay of all proceedings for the enforcement of such part of the decree herein as vthe notice of appeal refers to. The right to enforce such part of the decree as is not appealed from, is unaffected by the appeal attempted to be taken. Sections 2584 and 1310 Code Civ. Pro.
Unless, therefore, the respondent shall, within five days from the service of a copy of this order upon him, pay to the petitioner the amount with which he is charged by the decree,_ and respecting which no appeal has been taken, I shall direct the issuance of a warrant for his commitment.
