his warrant, directed to any constable of the City of Baltimore, that the
lessor may elect, ordering him to cause said lessor to have again and repos-
sess said premises by putting him (or his duly qualified agent or attorney
for his benefit) in possession thereof, and for that purpose to remove from

goods, effects or other chattels of every description whatsoever belonging

655. The tenant may appeal from the judgment of the Justice of the
Peace to the Baltimore City Court, at any time within two days from the
rendition of such judgment; the tenant in order to stay any execution
of the judgment, shall give a bond to the landlord with one or more
securities, who are owners of sufficient leasehold or real estate in Balti-
more City, with condition to prosecute the appeal with effect, and answer
to the landlord, his executors, administrators, in all costs and damages
mentioned in the judgment, and such other damages as shall be incurred
find sustained by reason of said appeal; the aforesaid bond shall not affect
in any manner the right of the lessor to proceed against said tenant,
assignee or under tenant for any and all rents that may become due and
payable to the lessor after the rendition of said judgment.
Appeals from Judgments of Justices of the Peace. From a judgment rendered
under the Act 1888, ch. 487, an appeal will lie to the Baltimore City Court.
