Virginia law outlines the procedures for setting bail terms via a magistrate based on court orders attached to a capias. It also details how bail can be granted to individuals held in jurisdictions different from where they are to be tried, allowing judicial officers to admit them to bail without trial or examination. These provisions ensure proper adherence to court orders and facilitate bail in multi-jurisdictional cases.
