The prosecution of any appeal may not hinder, delay, or prevent the respondent from exercising all the rights and privileges mentioned in § 45-5-6, if the respondent files with the clerk of the court in which the appeal is pending a bond with sufficient sureties to be approved by the clerk in double the amount of the assessment appealed from, conditioned that the respondent will pay to the appellant whatever amount the appellant may recover in the action, not exceeding the amount of the bond.
