ing indicating an intention on the part of the said convicted person to

so receiving the same shall endorse thereon the time of such receipt by
him, forthwith transmit by mail or otherwise said order of appeal, to-
gether with a copy of the commitment in said case, to the said Justice
who has sentenced the said person; and said Justice, upon receipt of said
order or prayer for appeal, shall endorse thereon the date of its receipt
by him and transmit to the Criminal Court of Baltimore a copy of the

addresses of the witnesses for the prosecution endorsed thereon, together
with said order or prayer for appeal.

632C. In all cases in which the convicted person is entitled to an ap-
peal under said Section 632A, and fails to prosecute his appeal within
the time provided in said section, it shall thereinafterward conclusively

right to a jury trial in said case, and that the said party waived the same.

632D. In all cases in which any said Justice of the Peace assigned to
any station-house in Baltimore City may impose as a penalty for the
crime any sentence of imprisonment, the said Justice may in his discre-
tion, impose imprisonment either in the Baltimore City Jail or in the
Maryland House of Correction; but in all cases in which the said im-
prisonment is imposed only in default of the payment of fine or costs,
the said imprisonment shall be only in the Baltimore City Jail.

632E. Whenever application is made upon oath before any Justice of
the Peace, assigned to any of the station-houses in the City of Baltimore
for the issuance of a warrant for the arrest of any person or persons
charged with the violation of any ordinance of the Mayor and City Coun-
cil of Baltimore, the violation of which ordinance is punishable by a
pecuniary fine only of not more than $100, the said Justice of the Peace
may, in his discretion, instead of then issuing said warrant, issue a sum-
mons to the person for whom the said warrant is asked, to show cause
before him on the day when said summons is made returnable why the
said warrant should not be issued.
