Syllabus

<p>Appeal — Bonds—Supersedeas—In Aid op Execution — Amount— Contempt. Under statutes giving ample power to the court to enforce its judgments by execution against the person and to order commitment until full performance of the judgment, a court having directed the deposit in court of a stock certificate valued at $70,000, and upon appeal from such order, having fixed the supersedeas bond in double the value of the property, may attach the person of the defendant for contempt upon failure to deposit the stock or give the bond; and upon appeal from an order of commitment for contempt, may fix the supersedeas bond in the sum of $70,000; since such bond is more than a mere supersedeas of punishment for contempt but is in aid of execution, and has the same effect as the first supersedeas.</p>
