351. The several justices of the peace of Dorchester, Caroline, Charles,
Calvert, Garrett, Harford, Howard, Kent, Montgomery, Prince George's,
St. Mary's, Somerset, Talbot, Washington, Wicomico, Anne Arundel and
Allegany Counties, shall have, in addition to the jurisdiction which they
now possess, and which may be conferred upon them by or under the
laws of this State, jurisdiction concurrent with that exercised by the cir-
cuit courts for said counties in all cases of assault without any felonious
intent; and in all cases of assault and battery, and in all cases of petit
larceny, when the value of the property stolen does not exceed the sum
of five dollars, and in all misdemeanors not punishable by confinement
in the penitentiary, which may be committed within their respective juris-
dictions; and shall have jurisdiction in all prosecutions or proceedings
for the recovery of any penalty for doing or omitting to do any act, the
doing of which, or the omission to do which, is made punishable under
the laws of this State, within their said jurisdiction by any pecuniary
fine or penalty or by imprisonment in jail or in the Maryland House of
Correction; all of which acts or omissions are hereby declared to be
criminal offences; and the said justices shall have power to issue all
process and to do all acts which may be necessary to the exercise of their
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 with-
out 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 offence pray a jury trial, or if the State's
Attorney for said county shall, before the trial of such alleged offence,
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 offence 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.
