Power to remand or enlarge prisoners on recognizances.
|
64. Any one of the divisional justices, if he shall think fit, may remand any person for further examination, or may suffer to go at large any person who shall be charged before him with any felony or misdemeanor upon his personal recognizance (with or without sureties)); and every such recognizance shall be conditioned for the appearance of such person before the same or some other of the said justices for further examination, or to surrender himself to take his trial before such court, and at such day and place as shall be therein mentioned; and the justice shall be at liberty, from time to time to enlarge every such recognizance to such further time as he shall appoint; and every such recognizance which shall not be enlarged shall be discharged, without fee or reward, when the party shall have appeared according to the condition thereof: Provided always, that whenever any justices shall take the recognizance of any person to appear and take his trial before any court of criminal jurisdiction, the justice shall be bound to return the depositions taken in the case, and to bind over the witnesses to appear and give evidence, in like maner as if he had committed the party to take his trial at such court.
