Section 11
SEC. 11. Section forty-two of said Act is hereby amended so as to read as follows: "SEC. 42. Appeals to Courts of First Instance.—An appeal shall lie to the Court of First Instance next to be held within the city, in all eases where line or imprisonment is imposed by a municipal court. To perfect an appeal, the party desiring to appeal shall, within two hours after the rendition of the judgment by the municipal court, file with the clerk of the court a written statement that he appeals to the Court of First Instance. The filing of such statement shall perfect the appeal. The judge of the court from whose decision appeal is taken, shall, within five days after the appeal is taken, transmit to the clerk of the Court of First Instance a certified copy of the record of the proceeding and all the original papers and process in the case, and the clerk of the Court of First Instance shall docket the appeal in that court. A perfected appeal shall operate to vacate the judgment of the municipal court, and the action, when duly entered in the Court of First Instance, shall stand for the trial de novo upon its merits in accordance with the regular procedure in that court, as though the same had never been tried and had been originally then commenced. Pending an appeal, the defendant shall remain in custody unless released upon sufficient bail, in accordance with the rules and regulations now or hereafter in force, to await the judgment of the appellate court."
