PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY. 3915

case of a forfeited recognizance in the Circuit Court for Prince George's
County; and if a forfeited motor vehicle, the said Police Justice shall
forthwith sell said motor vehicle, and within five days thereafter pay over
the proceeds thereof to the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles as fines for
violation of the Motor Vehicle Laws are now required to be paid; and if
forfeited collateral the same shall be paid over to the Commissioner of
Motor Vehicles as now required by law, after deducting therefrom in any
case of forfeiture any costs now authorized by law. But the failure of said
accused to appear for trial as herein provided for before said Police Jus-
tice and the forfeitures herein authorized shall not prevent the subsequent
arrest, conviction and the imposition of the penalty or penalties authorized
by law. Should the accused furnish the bail or collateral in any of the
ways prescribed for his appearance before said Police Justice, the said
Justice of the Peace taking such recognizance or collateral, or motor vehicle
as surety, as the case may be, shall forthwith transmit the warrant under
which the accused was brought before him, with a list of witnesses for the
prosecution endorsed thereon, as well as the recognizance taken, or the
collateral, or motor vehicle as surety, whichever it be, together with a copy
of his docket entries and all costs incurred by him to the Police Justice,
and also if in his judgment necessary, shall take recognizance in such
amount or collateral in such amount as he may deem proper to compel
the personal appearance of the witnesses for the State on the day fixed for
the trial of said accused before said Police Justice. The said Justice of
the Peace other than the Police Justice shall receive the sum of one dollar
in full for all his charges, and the constable or other officer, if other than
a member of the Prince George's County Police, or State Police, shall
receive the sum of one dollar in full for all his charges; but should the
officer making the arrest be the sheriff of Prince George's County, or any
one of his deputies, or any member of the Prince George's County Police,
the said Justice of the Peace shall tax as part of the costs for the service
of said warrant the sum of one dollar, which shall be turned over to the
County Commissioners of Prince George's County. But no constable,
sheriff, deputy sheriff, police officer, or other peace officer, shall be entitled
to receive any fee for testifying as a witness in any case involving a viola-
tion of the Motor Vehicle Laws.

1927, ch. 426, sec. 5.

582. Upon the receipt by the Police Justice of the papers in all oases
of violations of any of the provisions of the Motor Vehicle Laws, or any
other law, local or general, transmitted to him for trial from any other
Justice of the Peace, he shall forthwith docket a case in the name of the
State of Maryland against the accused, and issue subpoenas for witnesses,
and try and determine said case, if he has jurisdiction under the provi-
sions of this Act, within ten days after the receipt of the papers, inclusive
of the day on which said papers are received, and shall pronounce judg-
ment and sentence as required by law. Provided, however, that upon good
cause shown by either the party accused or the State's Attorney on behalf
