51. And for the more effectual prevention of frivolous appeals be it enacted, that any court of general or quarter sessions of the peace, upon proof of notice of any appeal to such court having been given to the clerk of the petty sessions court, and such recognizance having been entered into as in the Petty Sessions (Ireland) Act, 1851, is in that behalf mentioned, though such appeal may not be afterwards prosecuted or entered, or though notice in writing of the intention of the party to prosecute the same shall not have been served seven clear days before the commencement of said sessions, as by said Act required, may, if it shall so think fit, at the sessions for which such notice of appeal was given, order to the party receiving the same such costs and charges not exceeding forty shillings as by the said court shall be thought reasonable and just to be paid by the party giving such notice, such costs to be recoverable in the same manner as the costs in ordinary cases of appeal are now by law recoverable.
