1. ““By the provisions of the statute, a defendant, who has been convicted of a felony and appeals to the supreme court from such conviction, may be granted a stay of the sentence pending the preparation and hearing of the case on appeal upon a sufficient undertaking, given by others and not himself, upon the approval thereof by the proper officer of the state.” (Syl. If 1.) “Moreover, the provisions of section 154 of the criminal code fairly preclude the defenses pleaded to the action in this case. The signers of the bond are presumed to know the law, and when they individually signed the bond and delivered it to another to be delivered to the officer for acceptance, even if they had expected or had even agreed that the bond should not be valid until signed by others, if such bond came to the possession of an officer authorized to approve and accept it, and a defendant legally in custody, charged with a public offense, was discharged from custody by reason of the giving of the recognizance by which they undertook that the defendant should appear before a court or magistrate for examination or trial for such offense, they cannot be heard to dispute their obligation.” (p. 728.)”
