Miss. Code § 11-51-83
Either party aggrieved by the judgment of the justices rendered in a case of unlawful entry and detainer, may, after final judgment, appeal to the circuit court of the county, within five days after the rendition of the judgment, by entering into bond with sufficient sureties, to be approved by the justice before whom the complaint was made, or in his absence before another justice, who tried the case, in a penalty double the amount of the rent recovered, but never less than Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00), payable to the opposite party, conditioned for the payment of such judgment as the circuit court may render against him. Such appeal shall operate as a supersedeas. The justice shall send to the circuit court all the papers and proceedings, and a transcript of all orders and judgments in said cause, and shall deliver the same to the clerk of the circuit court, to be there docketed for trial. The circuit court shall, at the first term, hear and determine the cause anew on its merits, in a summary way. On the trial in the circuit court, the plaintiff may claim for all arrears of rent due at the time of such trial, or for the use and occupation of the premises up to that time. The court shall cause judgment to be entered against the defendant and his sureties on the appeal bond, for the amount found to be due, and award a fieri facias thereon, with legal interest and all costs; but the judgment against the surety shall not exceed the penalty of the appeal bond.
