Precedents of Mittimus.
In every Mittimus the cause of the Commitment
is to be set down, to
the end it may appear whether the Prisoner be bailable or no. See
hereof
before in the Title Bailment, &c. |
493 |
|
Also where the Justices of Peace out of their Sessions
may hear and determine,
and so may commit Offenders for the Offence or Fine, it is necessary
that in their Mittimus there be contained the manner of the
Offence,
and how long time the Offender is to be kept in prison for it. See
the Mittimus for Guns afterwards.
