jurisdiction and may try and determine all such cases and may pronounce
judgment and sentence therein to the same extent as the circuit court for
such county could do in such cases, if such cases were tried before said
court without a jury; provided, however, that if any person when brought
before any such justice having jurisdiction in the case shall, before trial
for the alleged offense, pray a jury trial, or if the State's Attorney for the
county shall, before trial of such alleged offense, pray a jury trial on the
part of the State, it shall be the duty of such justice to commit such al-
leged offender for trial, or to hold him to bail to appear for trial in the
circuit court for said county at its theu or next session and to return said
commitment or recognizance, with the names and residences of the wit-
nesses for the prosecution endorsed thereon, forthwith to the clerk of the
said court; and the justice of the peace before whom the accused is brought
for trial shall, prior to the beginning of the trial, inform him of his right
to demand a trial by jury. If after trial before a justice of the peace
either party shall feel aggrieved by the judgment of such justice of the
peace, there shall be a right of appeal within ten days to the circuit court
for said county in which such justice resides.
