In lieu of giving bond with surety as provided in this article, any party
appealing from the judgment or order of the court may deposit with the judge or

as the judge or clerk may estimate to be sufficient to discharge any judgment or
order which may be entered by the court of record on the trial of the appeal to
secure the appeal bond. The money so deposited shall be transmitted in cash, by
check of the court, surety bond, or bank check, or by draft from the escrow
account of the appealing party&#8217;s attorney to the clerk of the court to
which the appeal is taken, who shall likewise issue his official receipt
therefor.
