said jurisdiction, and may try and determine all cases whereof they may
have jurisdiction, and may pronounce judgment and sentence therein in
the same manner and to the same extent as the Circuit Court for said
counties could in such cases, if such cases were tried before them without
the intervention of a jury; provided, however, that if any person, when
brought before any such justice having jurisdiction of the case, shall before
trial for the alleged offense pray a jury trial, or if the State's Attorney
for said county shall, before the trial of such alleged offense, pray a jury
trial on the part of the State, it shall be the duty of any such justice to
commit such alleged offender for trial in the Circuit Court for the county
in which the offense was committed at its then session, if it be then in
session, or at its next session, if it be not then in session, and to return
said commitment or recognizance, with the names and residences of the
witnesses for the prosecution endorsed thereon, forthwith to the clerk of
the said court; and the justice before whom the case is tried shall inform
the person charged of his right to a jury trial.
