1. “By executing the appeal bond, appellant made himself a party to the proceeding and was therefore constructively present at every step of the litigation, and must be deemed to have had notice of all the orders made and must be held to have assented to and have assumed all the obligations imposed by law upon a party signing as surety in such cases, one such was, as provided by § 6531 of the Digest, that where on the appeal the judgment should be against his principal, judgment also should be rendered against him as the surety on the appeal bond.
