Id., 210 W.Va. at 569, 558 S.E.2d at 369. The appellee signed the form, which stated that "'the. . . plaintiff below . . . wished to exercise the right to appeal the judgment in this case . . . .'" Id. The appellee, in Wolfe, posted the required bond and paid the applicable filing fee, but did not file a separate written document "purporting to be a 'notice of appeal' under Rule 18." Id.

We conclude that upon the filing of the bond and payment to the magistrate court of the circuit court filing fee, the appeal was properly commenced. Id.
