Circuit Court of Carroll County; and the said Justice shall have
the 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 of Carroll
County could do in such cases, if such cases were tried before
said court without the intervention of a jury; provided, how-
ever, that if any person, when brought before any Justice hav-
ing 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 Carroll County, if it
be in session, or at its next session, if it be not in session, and
to return such commitment or recognizance with the names and
residences of the witnesses for the prosecution endorsed thereon,
forthwith to the Clerk of the Circuit Court; and the Justice be-
fore whom the case is brought shall, in every such case, inform
the person charged of his right to a jury trial.

where sold; nor to show the knowledge of the principal to con-
vict for the acts of an agent or servant; nor to state the name of
any person to whom liquor is sold; nor to set forth the facts
showing that the required number of legal voters petition for
the submission to the voters of said proposition, nor that the
majority of legal voters voting upon said proposition voted
"For the proposition," but it shall be sufficient to state in that
regard that the act complained of took place in an Anti-Saloon
Territory.
