Taylor v. Hughes, (Me.) 4 Greenl. 433; Hodge v. Hodgdon, 8 Cush. (Mass.) 294; Jackson v. State, 30 Kan. 88, Pac. 317; Petition of Griswold, 13 R. I. 125.

Where a statute provides for a recognizance "to abide the judgment of the court," one conditioned "to await the action of the court" is not sufficient; Wilson v. State, 7 App. 38. To abide by an award. To await the award without revoking the submission. It does not mean to "acquiesce in" or "not dispute," in the sense of not being at liberty to contest the validity of the award when made; Hunt v. Wilson, 6 N. H. 36; Quimby v. Melvin, 35 N. H. 198; Marshall v. Reed, 48 N. H. 36, 40. To abide the decision. An agreement in a cause of partition "to abide the decision" of a suit in equity involving the title to the same lands did not mean to postpone the former suit until a final decree in the latter, but only that the partition should be in accordance with the title as determined by it; Hodges v. Pingree, 108 Mass. To abide and satisfy is used to express the execution or performance of a judgment or order by carrying it into complete effect; Erickson v. Eider, 34 Minn. 371, 25 N. W. 804.
