SEC. 9. And be it enacted, That all prosecutions for vio-
lations of this Act, which are hereby declared to be misde-
meanors, may be either upon presentment or indictment, or by
trial before a Justice of the Peace having criminal jurisdic-
tion, who shall have jurisdiction original and concurrent with
the Circuit Court for Prince George's County; and the said
Justice of the Peace shall have power to issue all process and
to do all acts which may be necessary to the exercise of his
said jurisdiction, and may try and determine all cases whereof
he may have jurisdiction, and may pronounce judgment and
sentence therein in the same manner and to the same extent
as the Circuit Court for Prince George's 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 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, and to
return said commitment or recognizance with the names and
residence of the witnesses for the prosecution endorsed there-
on, 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 right-to pray a jury trial; and if on
waiver of jury trial before the justice and trial before him,
either party shall feel aggrieved, there shall be a right of
appeal to the Circuit Court for Prince George's County. In
