Bail signifies the delivery of a man out of custody upon the undertaking of
one or more persons for him, that he shall appear, at a day limited, to an-
swer and be justified by the law. The difference between bail and main-
prize is, that mainpernors are only sureties, but bail is a custody, and there-
fore the bail may retake the prisoner if they think he will fly and bring him
before a justice, who ought to re-commit him in discharge of his bail, or
put him to find new sureties, see Code, Art. 29, sec. 67,1 as to the surrender
by bail in the Criminal Court of Baltimore City.
' Baltimore City Code, sec. 344.
