Section 12-22-244 Duty of defendant on bail to surrender upon affirmation of conviction or
dismissal of appeal. When the defendant in a case of misdemeanor or felony is sentenced to
hard labor, imprisonment or to the penitentiary, gives bail pending the appeal and the judgment
of conviction is affirmed or the appeal is dismissed, he is bound by the undertaking of bail
to surrender himself to the sheriff, at the county jail, within 15 days from the date of such
affirmance or dismissal. If he shall fail to do so, the sheriff must endorse the bail bond
forfeited, and a writ of arrest must be issued by the clerk; if not executed, another must
be issued, and so on until the judgment has been executed. If the defendant is taken on such
writ or if he shall surrender himself to the sheriff, the sentence must, without delay, be
carried out as if no appeal had been taken. (Code 1852, §755; Code 1867, §4306; Code 1876,
§4982; Code 1886, §4513; Code 1896, §4321; Code 1907, §6252; Acts 1911,...

Section 12-14-71 Appeals from judgments of circuit courts and proceedings thereon. From the
judgment of the circuit court, the municipality, in a case holding invalid an ordinance, or
the defendant in any case, may appeal to the court of criminal appeals in like manner as in
cases of appeals for convictions of violation of the criminal laws of the state. If the appeal
is taken by the municipality, it shall not be required to give surety for the cost of appeal.

will appear and abide by the judgment of the appellate court; and, failing to give bail, he
must be committed to the municipal jail, but he may give such bail at any time pending the

Section 15-13-80 Failure of defendant to appear; forfeiture of money deposited in lieu of bail.
(a) The essence of all undertakings of bail, whether upon a warrant, writ of arrest, suspension
of judgment, appeal or in any other case, is the appearance of the defendant at court; and
the undertaking is forfeited by the failure of the defendant to appear, although the offense,
judgment or other matter is incorrectly described in such undertaking, the particular case
or matter to which the undertaking is applicable being made to appear to the court. (b) If,
by reason of the neglect of the defendant to appear, money deposited instead of bail is forfeited
and the forfeiture is not discharged or remitted, the clerk with whom it is deposited must,
at the end of 30 days, unless the court has before that time discharged the forfeiture, pay
over the money deposited to such officer, official or employee authorized by law to receive
fines levied by such court. Thereupon the court shall, without any...

Section 12-22-172 Stays of execution on confessed judgments in misdemeanors. In the case of
a misdemeanor, the defendant may confess judgment, with sufficient sureties, for a fine and
costs as if no appeal were taken, but execution thereon must be stayed pending the appeal,
pursuant to the Alabama Rules of Appellate Procedure. If the judgment of conviction is reversed,
the confessed judgment is thereby vacated, but if the judgment of conviction is affirmed or
the appeal is dismissed, execution on such confessed judgment may issue at once. (Code 1896,
§4320; Code 1907, §6251; Code 1923, §3244; Code 1940, T. 15, §375.)...

sale of real estate for the payment of taxes, the defendant in the cause or the state, in
behalf of itself and the county, may appeal to the circuit court of the county within 30 days
after the rendition of the decree. If the defendant appeals, he must execute a bond in double
the amount of the decree, payable to the State of Alabama, with sufficient surety to be approved
by the judge of probate, and conditioned that he will prosecute the appeal to effect and pay
such judgment as the appellate court may render thereon; but the state shall not be required
to execute any bond. The district attorney shall represent the state on such appeal, and of
the pendency thereof the judge of probate must give him notice in writing; and on appeal by
the state, notice thereof shall be given the defendant, as in other cases of appeal from the
court to the circuit court, such appeal must be tried de novo, upon an...
