496 2 & 3 P. &. M. CAP. 10, BAIL AND DEPOSITIONS.

is contained, and may appear:
II. And forasmuch as the said Act doth not extend to such
Prisoners as shall be brought before any Justice of Peace for
Manslaughter or Felony, and by such Justice shall be com-
mitted to ward for the Suspicion of such Manslaugter or Felony,
and not bailed, in which Case, the Examination of such Pris-
oner, and of such as shall bring him, is as necessary, or rather
more than where such Prisoner shall be let to Bail or Main-
prise: (2) Be it therefore enacted by the Authority of this
present Parliament, That from henceforth such Justice or Jus-
375 tices 'before whom any Person shall be brought, for Man-
slaughter or Felony, or for Suspicion thereof, before he or they
shall commit or send such Prisoner to Ward, shall take the
Examination of such Prisoner, and Information of those that
bring him, of the Fact and Circumstances thereof, and the same,
or as much thereof as shall be material to prove the Felony, shall
put in writing within two Days after the said Examination;
(3) and the same shall certify in such Manner and Form, and at
such Time as they should and ought to do, if such Prisoner so
committed or sent to Ward liad been Bailed or let to Mainprise,
upon such Pain as in the said former Act is limited and ap-
pointed for not taking, or not certifying such Examinations as
in the said former Act is expressed. (4) And be it further en-
acted, That the said Justices shall have Authority by this Act,
to bind all such by Recognizance or Obligation, as do declare
any Thing material to prove the said Manslaughter or Felony
against such Prisoner as shall be so committed to Ward. to
appear at the next general Gaol-delivery to be holden within
the County, City or Town Corporate where the Trial of the said
Manslaughter or Felony shall be, then and there to give Evi-
dence against the Party; (5) and that the said Justices shall
certify the said Bonds taken before them, in like manner as
they should and ought to certify the Bonds mentioned in the
said former Act, upon Pain as in the said former Act is men-
tioned, for not certifying such Bonds as by the said former
Act is limited and appointed to be certified.
I. Justices of Peace shall examine Persons arrested of Felony, &c. and
shall bind their Accusers to give Evidence against them. 1 & 2 P. & M.
c. 13.
