ALBERT C. RITCHIE, GOVERNOR. 771
made as aforesaid, the provisions of law in reference to bail
in case of misdemeanor shall apply; or the said accused in
addition to the means hereinbefore prescribed for sufficient
bail or collateral may tender as bail his motor vehicle as pro-
vided for by Section 206 of Article 56, title "Licenses, " sub-
title "Motor Vehicles as Bail, " and said section in its entirety
shall be construed as applicable to the provisions of this Act
as though incorporated verbatim herein. Provided, however,,
that should said accused when brought before said Justice of
the peace other than the Police Justice, have preferred against
him more than one charge for violation of the Motor Vehicle1
Laws, the said Justice of the Peace shall exact and only exact

appear before said Police Justice at the time fixed for his
appearance, the bond or collateral taken or motor vehicle ten-

forfeited absolutely, and if it be a forfeited recognizance, the
same procedure shall be followed as in case of a forfeited
recognizance in the Circuit Court for Prince George's County;
and if a forfeited motor vehicle, the said Police Justice shall
forthwith sell said motor vehicle, and within five days there-
after pay over the proceeds thereof to the Commissioners of
Motor Vehicles as fines for violation of the Motor Vehicle

the same shall be paid over to the Commissioner of Motor
Vehicles as now required by law, after deducting therefrom
in any case of forfeiture any costs now authorized by law.
But the failure of said accused to appear for trial as herein

Police Justice, the said Justice of the Peace taking such recog-
