President and Commissioners; and all such fines, penalties and forfeitures
may be recovered before a justice of the peace by warrant, judgment and
commitment to the town hall in the same manner that commitments are
made for fines imposed by the circuit courts of this State; provided, that
no commitment under this section shall be for a longer period than two
days, nor until after hearing and judgment; but the President and Com-
missioners shall have power at any time to remit or release the said fines,
penalties, forfeitures and costs, or any part thereof, at their discretion;
but any party who shall be fined, or subjected to any penalty or forfeitures,
within five days after the same shall be imposed and judgment recov-
ered, may supersede or stay the same for thirty days, by giving security
satisfactory to the said justice of the peace; and the said fines, penalties
and forfeitures shall thereafter be collected as small debts are now col-
lectible before a justice of the peace.
