— The petitioner was convicted in the police court of Boise of the crime of assault for violation of see. 667 of the Rev. Ordinances of Boise City, and thereupon was fined the sum of $50. He appealed to the district court and gave an undertaking in the sum of $200 in conformity with the provision of sec. 8324 of the Rev. Codes. The case thereafter duly and regularly came on for trial in the district court, and the defendant was convicted and the trial court pronounced the following sentence:
“That whereas the said Ira Alzamon Lucas having been duly convicted in this court of the crime of assault, it is therefore ordered, adjudged and decreed, that the said Ira Alzamon Lucas is guilty of assault and that he be punished by imprisonment in the county jail of the county of Ada, state of Idaho, for a term of fifty days or pay a fine of $100.00 or $2.00 for each day of the imprisonment not served.”
*166In default of payment of the fine, the defendant was committed to the custody of the sheriff and subsequently applied to this court for a writ of habeas corpus. The writ was issued and the prisoner was brought into this court together with the return of the sheriff, showing the judgment and conviction as above stated.
The petitioner contends that where a conviction has been had in a justice or police court and an appeal has been taken in conformity with law, and an undertaking has been given for a “stay of proceedings under the judgment,” as provided by sec. 8324, and he is subsequently convicted in the district court, no other or different judgment can be imposed upon him than that provided in sec. 8327 of the Rev. Codes. That section reads as follows:
“If upon the trial in the district court the defendant is convicted, judgment must be rendered against the defendant and his sureties for the costs in both courts, and for any fine imposed by the district court; and if such fine and costs be not paid, execution must be issued thereon against the defendant and his sureties; but the sureties are not liable on any such judgment or execution beyond the amount of their undertaking. If the defendant fails to appear and prosecute his appeal, judgment must be entered by the district court against the defendant and his sureties in the amount of the undertaking.”
It is contended on behalf of the state that under the provision of sec. 7232 “whenever any fine is imposed for any felony or misdemeanor, whether such be by statute or at common law, the party upon whom the fine is imposed shall be committed to the county jail, when not sentenced to the state prison, until the fine is paid; and he shall be imprisoned at the rate of one day for each two dollars until such fine is paid”; and that under the provision of see. 7994 “A judgment that the defendant pay a fine, or pay costs, or pay both fine and costs, may also direct that defendant be imprisoned until the fine, or costs, or both fine and costs, have been satisfied,” at the rate of two dollars per day for each day’s imprisonment.
*167The attorney general contends that under the provisions of these sections of the statute the district court may enter an alternative judgment of imprisonment in an appeal case where the defendant fails to pay the fine, or fine and costs, as the case may be.
See. 2216 of the Rev. Codes provides that “Appeals may be taken from the judgments of the police judge, in the same manner as appeals are taken from the judgments of justices of the peace in criminal cases.”
It follows from the provisions of this section of the statute that as soon as a defendant, who has been convicted in a police court, begins to pursue his remedy by appeal, he is thereupon subjected to the provisions of the state law with reference to the prosecution of appeals, trials de novo, and the entry of judgment thereon in the district court. Under this authority he invokes the provisions of sec. 8324, and when he gives an undertaking for the stay of proceedings, such undertaking inures to the benefit of the state. If he is thereafter convicted upon the same charge, he is undoubtedly subject to the provisions of sec. 8327, and should have the judgment entered against him, in conformity with the provisions of that section of the statute. Under the provisions of sees. 7232 and 7994 of the Rev. Codes, the trial court may impose an alternative sentence of imprisonment in case of failure on the part of the defendant to pay the fine or costs or both fine and costs, as the case may be. These sections, however, have reference to the original trial of criminal eases, while see. 8327 has reference to judgments in such cases on appeal.
It is a well-recognized rule of statutory construction that different statutes bearing on the same subject must be construed in pari materia, and that if possible the court will so construe them as to give full force and effect to every provision of the statute. Construing the provisions of sec. 8327 in view of and in harmony with the provisions of sees. 7232, 7994 and 8324, we have no doubt but that it was the legislative intent, in enacting the former section, that upon conviction in the district court on appeal, any judgment there rendered and entered for a fine imposed by the district court, and for any and all costs, both in the district court and the in*168ferior court, must be rendered and entered against the defendant and his sureties, in the same manner as judgment is entered in a civil action, and that thereupon execution must issue on such judgment.
"We are equally clear that the provisions of see. 8327 do not prohibit the district court also entering an unqualified sentence of imprisonment, in addition to the fine and costs, in any case where imprisonment is allowed as a part of the punishment for such offense. This statute does not contain any prohibition against the district court rendering a judgment of imprisonment in such ease as well as one of fine. It merely undertakes to point out the method of rendering and entering judgment against the defendant on appeal for any fine imposed together with the costs in the action. In the present ease the district court has not attempted to enter any unqualified sentence of imprisonment against the petitioner. As we read the judgment set out in the return, the imprisonment was intended only in case the petitioner failed to pay the fine imposed. In this condition of the case the judgment is clearly unauthorized, and affords no basis or authority for the defendant sheriff detaining petitioner and restraining him of his liberty.
It appears that under the provisions of the ordinance of Boise City, sec. 667 (Rev. Ordinances), the court had the authority to either fine or imprison the defendant, or both, as he might deem best and necessary to meet the ends of justice. It is sufficient, however, to say that he has not .undertaken to exercise the right and power of imposing an unqualified jail sentence. He has rather confined himself to an alternative sentence in the event the defendant failed to pay the fine imposed. What is here said has reference only to the imprisonment of petitioner and has no reference to the validity of the sentence to pay fine and costs. The civil judgment may be entered against petitioner an'd his sureties under sec. 8327 whether they be present in court or fail to appear. For the reasons above stated, the petitioner is discharged.
