51 - Appeals from peacemakers' court of Tonawanda nation.

  51. Appeals from peacemakers' court of Tonawanda nation.  An appeal
  may be taken from the decision of a peacemakers' court of the  Tonawanda
  nation,  or  of a tribunal of such nation consisting of a peacemaker and
  one or more associate chiefs, to a court consisting  of  six  chiefs  of
  such  nation,  selected  as  follows:  The  party  appealing  shall give
  security, approved by the tribunal before which the action or proceeding
  was tried, for the payment of  the  amount  awarded  by  such  appellate
  court. Upon such security being given, such trial court shall direct the
  marshal  to  summon twelve chiefs, designated by such trial tribunal, to
  appear at a time and place specified, not more than ten days thereafter.
  At such time the names of such chiefs shall be drawn  by  lot,  and  the
  first six whose names are drawn, and who are not disqualified because of
  interest  or  relationship, shall constitute a court for the hearing and
  determination of such appeal. Such court  shall  hear  the  appeal,  and
  examine  the  witnesses and parties under oath in the same manner as the
  peacemakers in a determination before them.    Upon  such  hearing,  the
  chiefs  constituting  the court shall be entitled to receive twenty-five
  cents each for their services, to be paid in the first instance  by  the
  party  appealing.  In  their  final decision, they shall determine which
  party shall pay the costs and expenses of the suit and of the appeal.
