From any judgment of imprisonment or for a fine of an amount not to exceed state law under this code or any other ordinance of the city the person against whom it is rendered may, within ten days after the date thereof, appeal to a court of competent jurisdiction in the county wherein the offense was committed upon entering into a recognizance with surety deemed sufficient in a penalty double the amount of fine and costs with the condition that the party appealing will appear before such court on the first day of the next term thereof to answer for the offense against the city with which he or she stands charged, and not thence depart without leave of such court and will perform and satisfy any judgment which may be rendered against him or her by the court on appeal. And in case a fine not exceeding $10 is assessed, the person against whom it is assessed may object thereto, and insist upon the increase thereof to a certain sum exceeding $10, and judgment shall be given for such increased sum, and an appeal allowed, if one is desired, from such judgment.
