Every person sentenced under this article by the Police Court Judge to imprisonment or to the payment of a fine of ten dollars ($10.00) or more (and in no case shall a fine of less than ten dollars ($10.00) be given if the defendant, his agent or attorney object thereto) shall be allowed an appeal de novo to the County Circuit Court, upon entering into an appeal bond with surety deemed sufficient in a penalty equal to the amount of fine and costs, with condition that the person appealing will perform and satisfy any judgment which may be rendered against him by the Circuit Court on such appeal. Any such appeal must be perfected within twenty days from and after the date upon which the sentence is imposed. If such appeal is taken, the appeal bond and other papers in the case shall be forthwith delivered by the Clerk to the Clerk of the Court to which such appeal is taken, and such Court shall proceed to try the case as upon indictment or presentment, and render such judgment, without remanding the case, as the law and the evidence may require. If the judgment be against the accused, it shall include the costs incurred in the proceedings before the Police Court Judge, as well as in the Court.
