conviction of the keeper, that the place where intoxicating
liquor is found to have been sold contrary to this Act, be
shut up and abated until the keeper shall give bond with
sufficient security to be approved by the court, in the penal
sum of not more than five hundred dollars payable to the
State of Maryland, conditioned that he will not sell intoxi-
cating liquor contrary to law, and will pay all fines, costs
and damages assessed against him for any violation

bond, suit may be brought and recovery had thereon for the
use of Prince George's County, for any fine or fines that
may be assessed against him under this Act.

Section 709. All prosecutions for violations of this Act,
which are hereby declared to be misdemeanors, may be
either upon presentment or indictment, or by trial before
a Justice of the Peace having criminal jurisdiction, who

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,

names and residence of the witnesses for the prosecution
endorsed thereon, forthwith to the clerk of said court; and
