HARRY W. NICE, GOVERNOR. 531

or a deposit made as aforesaid, the provisions of law in refer-
ence to bail in case of misdemeanor shall apply; or the said
accused in addition to the means hereinbefore prescribed for
sufficient bail or collateral may tender as bail his motor vehicle
as provided for by Section 20G of Article 56, title "License, "
sub-title "Motor Vehicles as Bail" and said section in its en-
tirety shall be construed as applicable to the provisions of this
Act as though incorporated verbatim herein. Provided, how-
ever, that should said accused when brought before said Justice
of the Peace other than the Police Justice, have preferred
against him more than one charge for violation of the Motor
Vehicle Laws, the said Justice of the Peace shall exact and
only exact of said accused a recognizance or collateral or mo-
tor vehicle as bail in a sum not to exceed the maximum fine to
be imposed for the greatest offense for which said accused
is charged; and he shall accept the personal recognizance
of the accused for all other charges preferred against him
for violation of the Motor Vehicle Laws for his appear-
ance before said Police Justice at the time and place
fixed by said Justice of the Peace and as designated in said
recognizance. But should said accused fail to appear before
said Police Justice at the time fixed for his appearance, the
bond or collateral taken or motor vehicle tendered, as the case
may be, shall be and become forthwith forfeited absolutely,
and if it be a forfeited recognizance,. the same procedure shall
be followed as in case of a forfeited recognizance in the Cir-
cuit Court for Prince George's County; and if a motor vehicle
is forfeited, the said Police Justice shall forthwith turn over
said motor vehicle to the Sheriff of Prince George's County
to be advertised and sold and the money disbursed as in other
cases of forfeitures in automobile cases; and if forfeited col-
lateral 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 author-
ized by law. Should the accused furnish the bail or
collateral in any of the ways prescribed for his appear-
ance 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 en-
dorsed thereon, as well as the recognizance taken, or the col-
lateral, 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 appear-
ance of the witnesses for the State on the day fixed for the trial
