14 & 15 Vict. c. 93.

72 In every appeal from an order of justices in any case of summary jurisdiction under the provisions of the twenty-fourth section of the Petty Sessions (Ireland) Act, 1851, the recognizance into which the appellant is thereby required to enter shall be conditioned to prosecute such appeal, and to abide and perform the judgment and order of the Court of Appeal thereon, and to pay such costs as may be awarded by the said court, and in the case of an order to imprison, not to abscond pending the execution of the original order, or of the judgment or order of the Court of Appeal, and save as aforesaid shall be in the form prescribed by the said Act. In addition to the powers, jurisdiction, and authority conferred by the Petty Sessions (Ireland) Act, 1851, with respect to appeals, the court before which any such appeal shall be pending shall have power to adjourn the hearing of such appeal, or to remit the matter to the justices of the petty sessions where the original order was made, with such declarations or directions as to the Court of Appeal shall seem proper, and such justices shall have power to determine the matter when so remitted, having regard to such declarations or directions. Whenever any such appeal shall not have been prosecuted, or the original order shall have been confirmed or varied upon appeal, or either party shall upon such appeal have been ordered to pay costs, the Court of Appeal shall have and may exercise the same powers jurisdiction and authority to issue all necessary and proper warrants for the execution of the original order, or of such varied order, and to enforce the payment of the said costs, as the court which made the original order had or might have exercised when making such order.
