Post bond (4)

I believe the answer is:

bail

(Other definitions for bail that I've seen before include "Temporary release of one awaiting trial" , "Security for release - part of a wicket" , "Security for temporary release" , "Piece of cricket equipment; surety" , "Partition in stable" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press.
