If the appellant in a case of felony do not appear, according to the conditions of his bail-bond, before the supreme court to receive judgment, the court shall proceed as a circuit court is required to do in case of a failure of a party bound to appear in like cases, and may issue the proper process, and may render judgment, and enforce it by execution, and may issue process to any county for the arrest of the appellant, and have him brought before the court to receive judgment.
