39. Each of the circuit judges for the counties or judicial
circuits may make orders, in recess of their several courts, in
cases of law, and may require in writing the original papers on
any case, or abstracts and transcripts to be produced before
them, or either of them, wherever they or either of them may
be, for the purpose of passing such order, and in all criminal
cases wherein the accused has been allowed to give bail; but
if the court shall adjourn before he has secured the bail, the
clerk of the court may take the bail, on its being directed by
order of court before adjournment, or of one of the judges
after adjournment, fixing the amount thereof; but the clerk
shall accept no security without the oath or affirmation of the
person offering himself as security that he or she is worth the
amount of the bail in real or personal estate, exclusive of his or
her right to exemption, nor unless the clerk shall be satisfied
of the truth of such statement on oath or affirmation; and
whenever a party is arrested on indictment in any of the circuit
courts, and is imprisoned during the recess of the court, any
judge thereof, if it be a bailable case, may, by his order in
writing, fix the bail and direct the clerk to take the same, with
security or securities, who shall justify on oath or affirmation
as hereinbefore provided, and no security shall be taken whom
the clerk is not fully satisfied to be worth the amount sworn to.
