sureties, in which it is not necessary that the appellant should unite. Curtis v. Richards, 9 Cal. 33; Tissot v. Darling, 9 Cal. 278.

12. But, conceding that there is a necessary discrepancy between the condition and the penal portion of the bond, it cannot be set up by the obligors, as the bond would be single; and in a suit thereon the plaintiff would be entitled to the full amount. Swain v. Graves, 8 Cal. 549.

13. Time of filing.-The undertaking on appeal to the Supreme Court must, in all cases, be filed within five days after filing notice of appeal; and the Court has no power to extend the time. Elliott v. Chapman, 15 Cal. 383.

14. Construing sections three hundred and forty-eight and three hundred and thirty-seven of the Practice Act together, they provide that an appeal is not effectual for any purpose, unless an undertaking be filed, or a deposit made with the Clerk within five days after filing the notice; and failure to so file the undertaking, or make the deposit, will be fatal to the appeal, and it must be dismissed. Id.

15. The period of five days fixed by law for filing the undertaking, cannot be abridged by the error or negligence of the appellant; nor can that appellant, by serving a copy of the notice of appeal before the original is filed, keep the respondent watching the Clerk's office to see when it is done. Hastings v. Halleck et al., 10 Cal. 31.

16. If the appellants have been guilty of no laches in perfecting their appeal, the Court may enlarge the time for them to file their bond to entitle them to a stay of proceedings under the statute, and in the meantime order a stay of all proceedings in the inferior Court until the extended period shall have expired: in such case the Court may impose such terms as shall appear proper. Bradley v. Hall, 1

Cal. 199.

17. Effect of filing undertaking.-The perfecting an appeal does not release the lien acquired by docketing the judgment. Low v. Adams, 6 Cal. 277. 18. Where the notice of appeal recites that the appellant appeals both from an order granting a writ of assistance and from an order refusing to set it aside, and the undertaking on appeal stipulates to answer the consequences of the appeal from the former order only: Held, that this order alone will be considered by the Supreme Court. Horn v. Volcano Water Co., 18 Cal. 141.

See, also, §§ 353 and 355.

19. The State need not file an undertaking.-Where the people of the State are appellants, it is not necessary to file the usual undertaking on appeal. The People v. Clingan, 5 Cal. 389.

20. Actions on an undertaking on appeal.-Where an appeal is withdrawn or dismissed by consent of both parties, without being called to a final hearing, no action can be maintained on the appeal bond. Osborn v. Hendrickson,

6 Cal. 175.

21. Where, in an action on an appeal bond conditioned to pay the judgment appealed from, if the same should be affirmed by the Appellate Court, it appeared that the judgment appealed from was reversed, with directions to enter a different judgment: Held, that the conditions of such bond were not broken, and that no action would lie thereon. Chase v. Ries, 10 Cal. 517.

22. To enable the assignee of a judgment to sue on the appeal bond filed in the cause, he must have an assignment of the bond. Moses v. Thorne, 6 Cal. 87.

23 Where a surety undertakes that his principal shall pay any judgment to be rendered, etc., the judgment against the principal is conclusive against the surety. Pico v. Webster, 14 Cal. 204.

24. Where an appeal is taken by a party, and, as a condition to give it effect, a bond or undertaking with or by sureties is annexed-the undertaking being executed for the benefit of the appellant-the law presumes that it was executed at his request; and probably no. proof of that fact is requisite in a suit by the surety against the appellant for money paid on account of the suretyship. At all events, very slight proof of such request would be required. Bostic v. Love, 16 Cal. 73. 25. The sureties on an undertaking are entitled to stand on the precise terms of the contract, and there is no way of extending their liability beyond the stipulation to which they have chosen to bind themselves. Tarpey v. Schillenberger, 10 Cal.

§ 349. Undertaking on appeal from a money judgment.

If the appeal be from a judgment or order directing the payment of money, it shall not stay the execution of the judgment or order unless a written undertaking be executed, on the part of the appellant, by two or more sureties, stating their places of residence and occupation, to the effect that they are bound in double the amount named in the judgment or order, that if the judgment or order appealed from, or any part thereof, be affirmed, the appellant shall pay the amount directed to be paid by the judgment or order, or the part of such amount as to which the judgment or order shall be affirmed, if affirmed only in part; and all damages and costs which shall be awarded against the appellant upon the appeal.

N. Y. Code, § 335.

1. By the Code, the undertaking on appeal providing for the liabilities of the sureties upon condition of the affirmance of the judgment operates as a stay; and if, by a mere neglect to prosecute the appeal, and for that reason suffering it to be dismissed after the respondent has been deprived of his rights under the judgment by the undertaking, the sureties could be released upon the pretense that the judg ment was not affirmed, it is evident that great injustice would in many instances be perpetrated, and a fraud practiced upon the respondents. Karth v. Light, 15 Cal. 327; Chamberlain v. Reed, 16 Cal. 207.

2. A judgment directing the payment of money out of a fund in Court, is not a judgment directing the payment of money within this section. Curtis v. Leavitt, 10 How. Pr. 481; 1 Abbott Pr. 274.

§ 350. Appeal from a judgment for delivery of documents.

If the judgment or order appealed from direct the assignment or delivery of documents, or personal property, the execution of the judgment or order shall not be stayed by appeal, unless the things required to be assigned or delivered be placed in the custody of such officer or receiver as the Court may appoint; or unless an undertaking be entered into, on the part of the appellant, with at least two sureties, and in such amount as the Court, or the Judge thereof, or County Judge, may direct, to the effect that the appellant will obey the order of the Appellate Court upon the appeal. N. Y. Code, § 336.

§ 351. Appeal from a judgment directing the execution of a conveyance, etc.

If the judgment or order appealed from direct the execution of a conveyance or other instrument, the execution of the judgment or order shall not be stayed by the appeal until the instrument is executed and deposited with the Clerk with whom the judgment or order is entered, to abide the judgment of the Appellate Court.
