In case of appeal to the Supreme Court, such appeal shall be advanced and take precedence over all causes upon the court calendar, and be assigned for hearing as soon after the record on appeal and briefs are filed as the business of the court will permit. The taking of an appeal by the defendant and the filing of a supersedeas bond shall not operate to stay the proceedings of the circuit court or judge, or restore the defendant to office pending such appeal.
