Criminal Court of Baltimore if in the 'city of Baltimore, and the
said court shall take cognizance thereof, and such proceedings
shall thereupon be had as in other criminal cases; and if the

trators, to pay the mother ar other person having the custody of

filed shall forthwith issue a scire facias on such recognizance, for
the use of such mother or other person entitled as aforesaid, and
thereupon such proceedings shall be had as shall bring the matter
