834 LAWS OF MARYLAND.

same manner and to the same extent as the Circuit Court for
Garrett county, could do in such cases, if such cases were tried
before said court without the intervention of a jury; provided,
however, that if any person, when brought before any justice
having jurisdiction of the case, shall before trial for the alleged
offense pray a jury trial or if the State's Attorney for said
county shall before trial of such alleged offense pray a jury
trial on the part of the State, it shall be the duty of such
justice to commit such, alleged offender for trial, or to hold
him to bail to appear for trial, the Circuit Court for Gar-
rett county if it be in session, or at its next session, if it be
not in session, and return said commitment or recoznizance,
with the names and residence of the witnesses for the prosecu-
tion endorsed thereon forthwith to the clerk of said court; and
the justice before whom the case is brought shall in every such
case inform the person charged of his rights to a jury trial.

SEC. 22. And be it further enacted, That in all prosecutions

at such place or at any place of business of such person within
such territory where stamps or receipt is posted, and at the
time charged in any suit or prosecution under this Act; pro-
vided, such time is within the life of such stamp or receipt.

SEC. 23. And be it further enacted, That if any person makes
a sworn complaint or affidavit before any justice of the peace
having criminal jurisdiction, or judge of the Circuit Court for
Garrett county, particularly describing the house or place to
search and the things to be searched for that he has reasons to

of this Act. Such justice of the peace, judge shall issue his
warrant directed to any officer whom the complainant may
