is committed, and jurisdiction original and concurrent with the
Circuit Courts for the aforesaid Counties is hereby given in
such cases to the Justices of the Peace in and for the aforesaid
Counties respectively, in which the said offense is committed
and the said Justices of the Peace shall have power to issue
all process and do all acts which may be necessary for the ex-
ercise of said jurisdiction and may try and determine all such
cases and may pronounce judgment and sentence therein to
the same extent as the Circuit Court for such County could do
in such cases, if such cases were tried before said Court with-
out a Jury; provided, however, that if any person when
brought before any such Justice having jurisdiction in the
case shall, before trial for the alleged offense, pray a jury
trial, or if the State's Attorney for the 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 for said County at its then or next
session and to return said commitment or recognizance, with
the names and residences of the witnesses for the prosecution
endorsed thereon, forthwith to the Clerk of the said Court;
and the Justice of the Peace before whom the accused is
brought for trial shall, prior to the beginning of the trial, in-
form him of his right to demand a trial by jury. If after
trial before a Justice of the Peace either party shall feel ag-
grieved by the judgment of such Justice of the Peace, there
shall be a right of appeal within ten clays to the Circuit Court
for said County in which such Justice resides.

SEC. 6. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall take
effect from the first day of May, in the year nineteen hundred
