711. All prosecutions for violations of this Act, which are hereby de-
clared to be misdemeanors, may be either upon presentment or indictment,
or by trial before a Justice of the Peace having criminal jurisdiction, who
shall have jurisdiction original and concurrent with the Circuit Court for
Prince George's County; and the said Justice of the Peace shall have

him to bail to appear for trial in the Circuit Court of Prince George's
County if it be in session, or at its next session, if it be not in session, and

and if on waiver of jury trial before the justice and trial before him, either
party shall feel aggrieved, there shall be a right of appeal to the Circuit
Court for Prince George's County. In case the judgment of the justice
of the peace is against the accused and he, she, it or they shall appeal, he,
