    NEALY v. SEXTON.
    
    Appeal from a justice — stay of execution — order to quash — error.
    All final judgments entered by justices of the peace, may be appealed from, except those entered on confession of the party.
    And if the person against whom judgment is entered, give bail for stay of execution, that will ■ riot prevent his giving bail, and appealing the cause within the time allowed by law.
    It is error for the Common Pleas to quash such appeal, or to order the appellant to pay costs.
    Error to the Common Pleas. The original suit was before a justice. The defendant then gave bail to stay the execution of the judgment against him, and afterwards, before ten days had expired after the judgment, gave bail for an appeal to the Common Pleas. That court quashed the appeal, because the appellant had forfeited his right to appeal, by entering bail for stay of execution, and ordered the appellant to pay two dollars costs. To reverse these orders, this writ of error is brought.

   Wright, J.

The statute (29 O. L. 177) allows appeals from all final judgments of a justice of the peace, except those entered on confession of the defendant; 5 O. R. 442. A party may desire to stay execution, in order to obtain counsel as to the propriety of appealing, and thus save expense, or the taking his property or body in execution. This does not affect the right to appeal; such case is not within the exception of the statute. A party against whom there is judgment, may stay the execution, and appeal also. The orders to quash, and to pay costs, and all proceedings since filing the appeal, are reversed, with costs to the plaintiff in error; and the cause is remanded to the Court of Common Pleas, with instruction to reinstate the appeal, and proceed.
