Opinion

.Mr. Chief Justice Waite

delivered the opinion of the court.

The .qualified acceptance of the bond given oh this appeal shows that the .judge who.took it considered the security only sufficient for a stay of. the execution of that part of the decree appealed from, which was for the payment of money. Under these circumstances the appeal only operates ■ as a supersedeas to that extent., As the appeal was taken within sixty days after the rendition- of the decree, Mr. Justice Matthews, the justice of this court, assigned to the Sixth Circuit, has power, under § 1007 of the Revised Statutes, to grant; in his discretion, a further stay of execution, if application to him for that purpose is. made. For this reason

The present motion is denied.
