1912, ch. 777.

632F. In all cases where application is made to any Justice of the
Peace assigned to any station-house in the City of Baltimore, for a war-
rant for the arrest of any person charged with the commission of a bail-
able offense, it shall be the duty of the said Justice of the Peace before
issuing said warrant to determine the amount of bail to be required in
the case of the person so charged; and the said Justice of the Peace before
issuing said warrant shall also endorse upon said warrant the amount of
bail so determined as aforesaid. When any person shall be arrested and
brought to any station-house in the City of Baltimore, under a warrant
so endorsed as aforesaid, during the absence of the Justice of the Peace
assigned thereto, the police captain, lieutenant or other police officers, in
charge of said station-house, shall release for the next hearing before said
Justice of the Peace, such person so arrested as aforesaid, upon his fur-
nishing security for his appearance at said hearing in double the amount
endorsed upon said warrant. The Justice of the Peace aforesaid may
at any time change the amount of required bail, so determined and en-
dorsed as aforesaid and shall in such case endorse such change upon said
warrant if then accessible to said Justice, and if not, then endorse the
same upon said warrant upon the return of said warrant, but in no case
where the offense charged is punishable by fine alone and not by imprison-
ment shall the Justice at any time determine and endorse upon the war-
rant an amount of required bail greater than the maximum fine imposed
by law for the commission of the offense charged. Nothing in this sec-
tion shall be construed as inconsistent with Section 631 of Article 4 of
the Public Local Laws of Maryland, entitled "City of Baltimore," sub-
title "Justices of the Peace and Constables," as repealed and re-enacted
with amendments by Chapter 123 of the Acts of 1898,

consideration by said justice, pursuant to the provisions of Section 632,
and upon the failure of any person to attend said station-house in response
to said summons at the time and place mentioned in said summons, he
shall be liable, in the discretion of the said police justice, to a fine not
exceeding $5.00 for his non-attendance in response to the said summons,
which fine shall be collected as other fines are collected, provided, how-
ever, the proof shows that a written or printed notice of said summons
was duly delivered to the said witness in person by some one duly author-
ized under the law to summon witness in such case.
