Where an unsuccessful defendant seeks a stay of execution pending an appeal to the Court of Appeal, it is a legitimate ground for granting the ap
plication that the defendant is able to satisfy the court that without a stay of execution he will be ruined and that he has an appeal which has some prospect of success.

\par I have already stated hereabove the basis or grounds of
 the application for stay. It does not include the ground that if the sums payable under the judgment were now paid and if the appeal against the judgment were successful the appellants would be unable to recover the amounts from the plaintiffs.
\par 
\par It is not
 proposed to go through the evidence in any detail filed in support of the application, namely, second affidavit of Edmond particularly the Notice of Appeal annexed to the said affidavit setting out the grounds. In brief it is this that the defendants
\rquote  \lquote chances of success on appeal are strong\rquote . Edmond says that grounds \lquote demonstrate the error in the judgment\rquote . These grounds are \lquote explained more fully in the annexure JKHEI\rquote  to the said affidavit.
\par 
\par To put it in the words of Mr. Patel the \lquote defendants have merely regurgitated their earlier defence which has been rejected by the court without anything anew to cast doubt on the correctness of the judgment.\rquote 
 In effect they are challenging almost every aspect of my judgment.
\par
