(a) In all cases where a person is sentenced to imprisonment or to the payment of a fine of ten dollars ($10.00) or more, such person shall be allowed an appeal from such decision to the proper court of the County of Kanawha. Any judgment for a fine shall be increased to ten dollars ($10.00), upon the request of the defendant or his attorney.
(b) Such appellant shall execute an appeal bond, with security deemed sufficient by the Municipal Court to cover all the fine and costs, and the costs of the appellate court, in case the judgment be affirmed, which bond shall be with condition that the person proposing to appeal shall make his personal appearance before the judge of the appellate court of Kanawha County on the first day of the next regular term thereof, and perform and satisfy any judgment which may be rendered against him by such appellate court on such appeal, and not depart from such court without leave. In case a jail sentence has been imposed, the appeal bond shall be increased by ten dollars ($10.00) for each day thereof, in addition to the penalty of double the fine and costs.
(c) Upon the appeal, the warrant of arrest, if any, the transcript of the judgment, the appeal bond and other papers in the case shall forthwith be delivered to the clerk of the circuit court of Kanawha County. The circuit court shall proceed to try the case as upon an indictment or presentment and shall render such judgement, including costs, as the law and the evidence may require. (1978 Code Sec. 16-19)
