J.\nRobert Parks and Nathan Taylor, plaintiffs in error, were charged, tried and convicted before a justice of the peace of Yell county, Danville District, for an assault upon Annie Spears, with \u00e1 deadly weapon, fined $1000 each, and costs, and ordered into custody, &c.\nWithout giving any bond, they caused a transcript to be filed in the Circuit Court as if upon appeal.\nThe State moved to dismiss the appeal because not taken in accordance with law; plaintiffs in error filed a petition under sections 926-31, Gantt\u2019s Digest, to be allowed to prosecute their appeal without bond as paupers. The court refused the prayer of the petition and dismissed the appeal.\nPlaintiffs in error could not appeal from the judgment of the justice of the peace without a covenant, by good security, for costs ; and a further covenant to pay the judgment if they desired to stay execution. Gantt\u2019s Dig., Sec. 2104, &c.\nPersons may be permitted to prosecute civil suits as paupers under the sections of the Digest above referred to, but they have no application to prosecutions of appeals in criminal cases.\nAffirmed.",
