34 Minn. 370 | Minn. | 1885
Gen. St. 1878, c. 86, § 10, provides that an appeal to this court from an order of the district court “shall stay all proceed
“To abide” a judgment or order is to “perform,” to “execute,” “to conform to,” such judgment or order. Hodge v. Hodgdon, 8 Cush. 294; 1 Abb. Law Dict. 3. So that to abide and satisfy a judgment or order is to perform, execute, conform to, and to satisfy it; that is to say, to carry it into complete effect. And in a ease like this at bar, where the judgment of the appellate court is for costs, and that an order of the district court requiring the payment of money be affirmed, a condition — or, what is in substance the same thing, an undertaking — to abide and satisfy the judgment is one to perform it, to execute it, to conform to it, to satisfy it, to carry it into effect. This can mean no less than to pay the sum of money directed to be paid by the order appealed from and affirmed.
The fact would appear to be that the substance of section 30 was first introduced into our law by Laws 1861, c. 22. Prior to that time no stay of proceedings upon an order appealed from appears to have been provided for by the statute. What is now Gen. St. 1878,
The judgment is reversed, and the case remanded for judgment for $508.83, the amount ordered to be paid by the district court of Chisago county, with interest from May 2, 1884, and for the further sum of $48.75, costs of this court, and interest from February 21, 1885, together, of course, with the costs of the district court in the present action.
