Henry, J.

¶1Long obtained a judgment against defendants in the Phelps circuit court, from which they prosecuted an appeal to this court. See 71 Mo. 452. The circuit court made an order allowing said defendants to file their appeal bond in vacation, which was done. Long, pending the appeal here, had an execution issued on the judgment, which defendants moved the circuit court to quash, on the ground that the allowance of the appeal and the execution of the bond operated to stay the execution.

¶2The 12th section of the act regulating practice in civil cases, (Wag. Stat., 1059,) expressly provides, that no order allowing an appeal shall stay the execution, except when taken by an executor, administrator, guardian or curator in an action by or against him as such, unless the appellant or some responsible person for him, with two sufficient securities, to be approved by the court, shall, during the term at which the judgment appealed from was rendered enter into a recognizance, etc. The bond here was not filed *656during the term at which the judgment was rendered. The order allowing it to be filed in vacation does not appear to have been made with the consent of the opposite party, and if such consent had beeen given, it could not have given the effect of a supersedeas to the order allowing the appeal. The circuit court properly refused to quash the execution, and its judgment is affirmed.

All concur.
