This law section outlines procedures for handling defaults in court recognizance, bail procedures after jail commitment, and the authority of court clerks to accept bail. It specifies how courts record defaults, certify recognizance breaches, and process bail offers to ensure proper legal procedures are followed. Additionally, it affirms the jurisdiction of various courts over criminal prosecutions.
The magistrate records the default and certifies it along with the recognizance to the court, which then proceeds as if the recognizance was breached.
If sufficient bail is offered to the court clerk, the prisoner can be released upon payment of the required bail amount.
The court clerk can examine the person offering bail on oath, accept the bail if satisfied, and certify the recognizance accordingly.
Circuit courts, recorders' courts, and any courts of record with jurisdiction over criminal causes have the authority to hear and try criminal cases.
