Stay of execution of warrant on undertaking to give possession in fourteen days, and pay rent, &c.

88. If any tenant so summoned to give up possession shall appear before the said justices and give an undertaking (to be entered in writing by the clerk of the court) quietly and peaceably to deliver up, within fourteen days from the date thereof, the possession of the premises of which he is such tenant or occupier in good order and repair to the landlord or his agent or receiver, and in the meantime to pay all rent and arrears claimed by such landlord in respect of such tenement, in such case the said justices shall not issue their warrant for giving up the possession until after the expiration of such period of fourteen days; and if the said tenant shall at the expiration of such period continue in possession otherwise than by permission of the landlord or his agent or receiver, it shall be lawful for such justices to issue their warrant for giving possession of the same forthwith, and such warrant shall be executed accordingly, without further notice to such tenant.
