In all cases before the Police Court Judge in which a person is sentenced to imprisonment or to the payment of a fine, if the defendant, his agent, or attorney, object thereto, such persons shall be allowed an appeal from such decision to the Circuit Court of the County, upon the execution of an appeal bond, with surety deemed sufficient by the Judge, in a penalty of double the amount of the fine and costs imposed by the Judge, with condition that the person proposing to appeal will perform and satisfy any judgment which may be rendered against him by the Circuit Court on such appeal. If such appeal be taken, the warrant of arrest (if there be any), the transcript of the judgment, appeal bond and other papers of the case shall be forthwith delivered by the Judge to the Clerk of Court and the Court shall proceed to try the case and render such judgment, including that of costs, as the law and the evidence may require, but no judgment shall be rendered against the City for costs on such appeal.
