2196 LAWS OF MARYLAND. [CH. 913

courts over offenses committed by such child after he reaches
the age of eighteen.

In any case pending before him, the Judge may cause any
person within his jurisdiction to be examined by a physician,
psychiatrist, or psychologist designated by him.

Whenever the Judge places a child in the custody of some-
one other than the child's parent, or in the custody of an
agency or institution, the Judge may, after giving the parent
a reasonable opportunity to be heard, order that such parent
pay, in such manner as the Judge may direct, such sum as will
cover in whole or in part the support of such child, and wilful
failure or refusal to pay such sum shall be deemed a misde-
meanor, and the said parent, upon conviction thereof, may be
fined not more than Fifty Dollars ($50.00), or imprisoned in
the Prince George's County jail not exceeding thirty days, or
both. The Judge of the Juvenile Court shall have jurisdiction
to try cases arising hereunder.

The Division of Parole and Probation shall have supervi-
sion over all persons, children and adults, placed on probation
by the Judge, and shall keep the Court informed of the status
and progress of all children subject to the jurisdiction of
either the Trial Magistrates sitting under the provisions of
this sub-title. The Division of Parole and Probation in per-
forming these functions shall work with and through the
person, agency, or institution which has been given custody of
the child. They shall submit to the Judge a report of any sub-
stantial violation of probation.

845. (Jury Trial.) Any adult defendant in any case
under this sub-title shall have the right to trial by jury, and
the Judge shall not proceed with the trial until he has in-
formed the defendant of his right to trial by jury, and such
right has been freely waived by the defendant. If a jury
trial is prayed, the Judge shall release the defendant upon
his giving bond, with sufficient surety, conditioned upon his
personal appearance before the Circuit Court for Prince
George's County to answer the charge against him. In de-
fault of bond, the defendant shall be committed to jail.

846. (Appeal.) Any interested party aggrieved by any
order of the Judge may, within thirty days after the entry of
such order, appeal therefrom to the Circuit Court for Prince
George's County. At the hearing on such appeal, the case,
shall be heard de novo, and any issue of fact may be sub-
mitted to a jury for determination, or may be determined
by the Circuit Court, sitting as a jury. The Circuit Court
shall enter such order or judgment, within the jurisdiction
of the Trial Magistrate sitting below, as it may find proper.
