When a judge grants a stay of execution pending appeal and orders security for the judgment debt, the reviewing court will not interfere unless the applicant demonstrates a miscarriage of discretion. The stay judge has a wide range of options in balancing the interests of all parties, and it is not necessary to order security at all, let alone in any particular form. Where a judge implicitly considers the relevant factors (including the ability to repay the judgment debt), the discretion will not be found to have miscarried merely because no express finding was made on that point.
