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.
When taken by the defendant, he may give bail with sufficient sureties, conditioned that he
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
appeal. When an appeal is taken by the defendant, bail is given pending the appeal and the

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,

Section 15-13-80 Failure of defendant to appear; forfeiture of money deposited in lieu of bail.

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,
