Appeal bond principal step. — On appeal from justice of the peace (now magistrate), an appeal bond is the process or principal step and requires a United States revenue stamp to validate it, and its absence cannot be cured by order of district court permitting amendment by filing of properly stamped bond.

Appeal bond cannot be perfected by appellate court order. — An appeal from a justice's court, which is invalid because a revenue stamp was not placed on appeal bond, cannot be perfected by order of appellate court which permitted affixing such stamp nunc pro tunc. Secou v. Leroux, 1866-NMSC-005, 1 N.M. 388 (decided under former law).
