Broyles, J.
1. When one who has been convicted in a recorder’s or mayor’s court of the violation of. a municipal ordinance seeks to review the judgment against him, he must either make an affidavit in forma pauperis, or give a bond conditioned for his personal appearance to abide the final order, judgment, or sentence upon him. Acts 1902, p. 105; Park’s Ann. Code, § 5191 (a).
2. It is not a compliance with either the act of 1902, supra, or the act of August 13, 1909 (Acts, 1909, p. 148), for a defendant who has been convicted in a municipal court to give a bond conditioned for the appearance of the defendant to abide the final judgment of the superior court of the county in which the municipality is located. Scott v. Camilla, 7 Ga. App. 689 (67 S. E. 846).
