Approved March 27, 1934
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia, That section
thirty-one hundred and six of the Code of Virginia be amended and
re-enacted so as to read as follows:
Section 3106. Appeals and removals.—In all misdemeanors triable
before such civil and police justice under the provisions of this chapter,
there shall be an appeal from his judgment to the corporation court of
his city, as now or hereafter provided by law for appeals from the
judgment of a justice of the peace for the counties. In all civil cases
triable before such.civil and police justices no removal to any other
court shall be allowed, but in all cases over twenty dollars, exclusive
of the interest, there shall be an appeal of right to any of the courts
exercising generally original common law jurisdiction in such civil
cases in his city, and all such appeals shall be tried and judgment
rendered, as provided by section sixty hundred and thirty-eight, but
no appeal shall be granted unless and until the party applying jor the
same have given bond with sufficient surety to be approved by the said
civil and police justice to abide the judgment of the court upon the
appeal, if such appeal be perfected, except where such appeal is proper
to protect the estate of a decedent, infant, convict, insane person, or a
county, city, or town, no bond shall be required, or if not so perfected
then to satisfy the judgment of the said civil and police justice, judg-
ment against such surety, when the appeal is not perfected, to be
entered under section six thousand and twenty-eight. No surety in any
such appeal bond shall be released by the appellant’s being adjudicated
a bankrupt at any time subsequent to the judgment rendered by the
said civil and police justice, but such surety shall be entitled to make
any defense on the trial of the appeal that the appellant could have
made except the defense of bankruptcy. The party taking such an ap-
peal may direct to which of said courts said appeal shall be sent for
trial where there are more than one of such courts, and in the absence
of such directions the said civil and police justice may send the same
to any court having jurisdiction, and the clerk of said court, upon
receipt of the papers in any such appeal case, shall, upon payment of
the writ tax, forthwith docket such case in its regular order; but if
said writ tax be not so paid within thirty days from the date of the
judgment, the said appeal shall thereupon stand dismissed, and the said
judgment shall become final, and the said papers, upon application of
any party in interest, shall be returned to the said civil and police
justice by the clerk of the appellate court. Appeal cases shall not have
the preference over other cases pending in such appellate courts as
regards the time of trial.
